Developing an Emergency Plan in 9 Steps

Preparing an emergency plan is more than a good idea; it's the law. Each municipality is required to have an Emergency Coordinator, an EMO Committee and an emergency plan.

The Office of the Fire Commissioner provides an interactive toolkit to assist you in establishing a local EMO Committee and to prepare a basic emergency plan. The toolkit clearly defines each of the nine steps in building your plan by providing important facts, useful samples and helpful tips.
