EMERGENCY PLANNING

AND

EVACUATION PROCEDURES

Why do we have an Emergency Plan ?

An Emergency Plan is required so that all staff and residents of Municipality of Oliver Paipoonge are aware of their responsibilities in the event of a disaster or catastrophe such as

·    Forest fire

·    Prolonged power failure during extreme cold

·    Hazardous material spills

·    Flood

·    Major property damage (wind, explosion)

·    Influenza or other pandemic

Objective of the Plan

Our Emergency Plan also includes an Evacuation Plan so that all residents can be moved to safety, with a minimum of delay and confusion. In the event that only a small area of the municipality is affected, reception areas in the safe parts of our community will be used.

Oliver Paipoonge Plan ensures that

.

· Everyone in the affected area is notified.

· Assistance, transportation, food and shelter is provided, when possible, for the residents involved in the emergency until the situation returns to normal.
