Plan assembled by Public Safety Planning Solutions and Staff during FYE 2010.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
In
the FYE 2010 budget the City Council directed staff to update the Emergency
Operations Plan, which is mandated by federal guidelines. Due to the age of the old plan, this plan was
completely rebuilt to comply with many new requirements of municipalities. Staff reviewed each item with Public Safety
Planning Solutions as well as the local fire districts, which are the primary
responders in many emergency situations. The Administrative/Finance Committee
reviewed the plan and the City Council was provided with compact discs with
this plan. Once the resolution is passed
it will be sent to the DuPage County Office of Emergency Management for
approval. This plan conforms with all requirements of the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA). Once

ALTERNATE CONSIDERATION
