This new plan provides clarity on how to identify community risk, provides guidance on how to respond to various emergencies in accordance with a risk profile, uses industry standard documentation and adopts continuous improvement methodology.
Corner Brook city hall has tabled a new Emergency Management Response Plan to replace the outdated one. This is in order to comply with requirements from the Justice and Public Safety department. At Monday night’s public meeting, Councillor Vaughn Granter says the plan has been revised by the Director of Protective Services and approved by the NL Director of Emergency Services. This new plan provides clarity on how to identify community risk, provides guidance on how to respond to various emergencies in accordance with a risk profile, uses industry standard documentation and adopts continuous improvement methodology.
Mayor Jim Parsons says it is interesting to read some of the risk matrix there with some of the things that could happen. He says it’s good to know we are prepared. Councillor Bill Griffin says the plan not only provides details on how to react to a situation but it also gives advice on how to not overreact. The retired deputy Fire Chief says during his 32 years with the fire department, it was automatic and responders would just go.
