Emergency Plan

An emergency is defined as situations or impending situations caused by forces of nature, accident or an intentional act that constitutes a danger of major proportions to life and property. They affect public safety, meaning the health, welfare and property, as well as the environment and economic health of the Municipality of Powassan.

The Municipality of Powassan Emergency Management Committee developed this emergency response plan. Every official, municipal department and agency must be prepared to carry out assigned responsibilities in an emergency. The response plan has been prepared to provide key officials, agencies and departments of the Municipality of Powassan important emergency response information related to:

• Arrangements, services and equipment;
• Roles and responsibilities during an emergency.

It is important that residents, businesses and interested visitors are aware of their provisions.
