"Emergency Plans for Each Region"

Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

If this bill becomes law, each Emergency Management Committee will have to make a regional emergency management plan. You will be able to find each Committee's plan on their internet site. The plan must follow the national emergency management strategy and meet the requirements set out by the Minister under section 100. The plan must also consider guidelines and standards issued by the Director-General. When a Committee approves a plan, it comes into effect straight away. The plan stays in effect for the time period stated in the plan, or until it is replaced. The Committee will make sure you can access the plan on their website. This is a proposed change to the law, and it will affect how Emergency Management Committees make their plans. You can find the plan on the Committee's website once it is approved.
