The update includes sample press releases so the city can get started quickly if an event occurs, a new and robust section, disabled access and functional needs and guidance, updated processes, and new forms.
Emergency Preparedness Manager Scott Matalon presented the item to the council, and he said the Emergency Operations Plan was last updated in 2013, and it’s been a long time coming.
