Planning helps the city to respond effectively in an emergency. These plans provide an all-hazards approach that the City will take to respond to disasters. Planning ensures City agencies and community partners can work together in emergencies to prevent loss of life, property, and economic or environmental harm.
Planning is only one part of the preparedness cycle, and once plans are written they don’t sit on the shelf. Parts of these plans are exercised regularly and are revised or updated as needed.
If you have any questions about the City’s emergency plans, have feedback regarding a plan, or would like to be involved in the planning process, please send your comments to [email protected].
