Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

Emergency management system planning - Local and sector plans - Regional emergency management plans

98: Targeted amendments to regional emergency management plan

You could also call this:

"Making small changes to emergency plans for your region"

Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

You can make small changes to a regional emergency management plan without fully reviewing it. This can happen if the Emergency Management Committee thinks the change is small and limited. They can make changes like updating a part of the plan that affects some people more than others. You can also make changes to identify new hazards or update the risks of existing ones. This might mean adding new rules for people or groups that were not included before. The Committee must talk to people and get their thoughts before making these small changes. The Committee must follow the rules in the Local Government Act 2002 when talking to people. If they make a change, the rules in section 92 will still apply.
