Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

If a new law is passed, each Emergency Management Committee will have a plan. You will find the following information in this plan: the local authorities working together, the hazards and risks they manage, and how they will manage them. The plan will also include how they will help the community recover from hazards and risks. The plan must state the area the Committee covers and how the local authorities will share the costs. You will also find information on how they will declare a state of emergency and work with other Committees. The plan will include arrangements for communities that may be badly affected and for managing animals during an emergency. The plan may allow someone to close roads and public places in an emergency, as stated in section 130. This person will have the same powers as someone who can normally close roads and public places. The plan will be in force for a certain period, which will be stated in the plan.
