Emergency Plan Bylaw, 2004
Forward to the County Emergency Plan
Emergencies could be defined as situations caused by the forces of nature, an accident, an intentional act or otherwise that constitute a danger of major proportions to life or property. The situations, or the threat of impending situations, that abnormally affect the lives and property of our society require, by their nature and magnitude, a controlled and coordinated response by a number of agencies, both governmental and private, under the direction of the appropriate elected officials. This response is distinct from routine operations carried out by an agency or agencies such as police forces, fire departments, emergency medical services and hospitals.
Whenever an emergency occurs that affects the lives and property of citizens, the initial and prime responsibility for providing immediate assistance rests with the local municipal government. This emergency plan is designed to ensure the coordination of the County, private and volunteer services in an emergency to bring the situation under control as quickly as possible.
The Lennox and Addington County Emergency Plan is intended to provide for effective coordination of human and material resources to assist our communities and our County as a whole in mitigating the effects of emergencies.
It is the primary responsibility of individual municipalities to declare and respond to an emergency. The scale or magnitude of an emergency situation may require the County to coordinate a response in conjunction with local municipalities. The County will respond during an emergency in accordance with the provisions of this plan.
