  • 2019 Annual Report
    Choices Community Respect Relationships Excellence D r eamsInterdependence Inspiration Fulfillment 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Bringing the Power of Possibility to People with Special Needs .................................... .................................... .................................... .................................... LETTER FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT Dear Friends, his year is a good lesson for all of us. We don’t have near T the control over our circumstances as we thought we did. A world-wide pandemic gave all of us a lot of things to worry about. However, in many things that we see as tragedies and terrible events, there can be a positive side, a silver lining that we choose to see. We see people pulling together to fight a common problem, and in the process, we remind each other of our common humanity. Even the nightly news includes more feel- good stories about how people selflessly help each other during this pandemic. This disruption of normal life is "a time to choose what matters and what passes away, a time to separate what is necessary from what is not." All of us are called to row together, each of us needing to comfort the other. The individuals and families that LBSA serve need our comfort and our support. They live, play and work in our community, but are among the most vulnerable and powerless in that community. I read somewhere that; “The role of the powerless is to evangelize the powerful.” In comparison to those served by LBSA, we are indeed the powerful. If they cannot rely on us, then who? I hope that our own suffering and sequestering has given us more empathy for those who have even less control over their lives.

  • Minnesota Emergency Alert System Statewide Plan 2018
    Minnesota Emergency Alert System Statewide Plan 2018 MINNESOTA EAS STATEWIDE PLAN Revision 10 Basic Plan 01/31/2019 I. REASON FOR PLAN The State of Minnesota is subject to major emergencies and disasters, natural, technological and criminal, which can pose a significant threat to the health and safety of the public. The ability to provide citizens with timely emergency information is a priority of emergency managers statewide. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) was developed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide emergency information to the public via television, radio, cable systems and wire line providers. The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, (IPAWS) was created by FEMA to aid in the distribution of emergency messaging to the public via the internet and mobile devices. It is intended that the EAS combined with IPAWS be capable of alerting the general public reliably and effectively. This plan was written to explain who can originate EAS alerts and how and under what circumstances these alerts are distributed via the EAS and IPAWS. II. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF PLAN A. Purpose When emergencies and disasters occur, rapid and effective dissemination of essential information can significantly help to reduce loss of life and property. The EAS and IPAWS were designed to provide this type of information. However; these systems will only work through a coordinated effort. The purpose of this plan is to establish a standardized, integrated EAS & IPAWS communications protocol capable of facilitating the rapid dissemination of emergency information to the public. B. Objectives 1. Describe the EAS administrative structure within Minnesota. (See Section V) 2.
