<br />comprehensive resource management, and designated incident facilities during emergencies or

<br />resources will improve the county's ability to utilize federal and state funding to enhance local agency
<br />readiness, maintain first responder safety, and streamline incident management processes;
<br />

<br />incident management activities throughout the State and the City of New Brighton, including current

<br />a standardized Incident Command System;
<br />
<br />WHEREAS the Governor of the State of Minnesota by Executive Order 05-02, February 9, 2005, has
<br />designated the NIMS as the basis for all incident management in the State of Minnesota;
