The combined Municipal Emergency Plan (Revision 4) for the Township of Bruce and the
Township of Kincardine is approved by Bruce Township By-law No. 98-50 and Kincardine
Township By-law No. 98-..<g, "a by-law formulating a plan to safeguard the health, safety,
welfare and property of the citizens in the community".
The Plan has been prepared to provide key officials, agencies and departments within Bruce
Township and Kincardine Township, the Bruce Nuclear Power Development, and Bruce
County, with a general guideline to the expected initial response to a Municipal emergency,
and an overview of their responsibilities during an emergency,
Any emergency situation is unique, so that it is not possible to precisely define the actions
required by any local, County, or Provincial agency who may be involved in emergency
response. It is important, then, that the elements ofthis Plan be implemented with common
sense recognizing the situation at hand and the capabilities of those agencies involved.
If this Emergency Plan is activated, the resources of both Municipalities are placed under the
direction of the Municipal Control Group.
. Non-recoverable costs are shared equally amongst all parties.
For this Plan to be effective it is important that all concerned be made aware of its provisions
and that every official, agency and department be trained and prepared to carry out their
assigned functions and responsibilities to the best of their ability in an emergency.
This Plan is introduced into law under the authority of the Emergency Plans Act, 1983.
