Emergency Response Plan
County of Elgin
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of th is to provide elected officials, personnel, and emergency
response agencies an overview of the guidelines to their expected response and
responsibilities to an emergency situation within the County of Elgin. For this plan to be
effective it is imperative that all officials, departments and agencies be aware of their
respective roles and be prepared to carry out their assigned responsibilities.
s plan
with
For the purposes .of this plan, an emergency is defined as an abnormal situation which
threatens the health, safety, welfare and property of a community, and requires a
coordinated and controlled response from elected officials, personnel, and emergency
response agencies.
While many emergencies could occur within the County of Elgin, the most likely to occur
are floods, water and land pollution, blizzards, cold waves, fire, fog, frost and freezeups,
high winds, ice storms, .severe thunderstorms, snow storms, tornadoes, hazardous
chemical spills, power failures, transportation accidents involving hazardous materials,
strikes and disorder.
THE AIM
The focus of this plan is to provide a guideline for the most effective response to an
emergency situation in the local municipalities, and in so doing safeguard the health,
safety, welfare and property of their populace. This plan will govern the provision for
requested services during an emergency.
COUNTYEMERGENCYASS5TANCE
The initial response to an emergency situation shall be the responsibility of the directly
affected Municipality. Upon receipt of a warning of a real or potential emergency at the
local level, the initial responding agency will contact the appropriate Municipal Official to
request that the Municipal Emergency Notification System be activated. The Municipality
will notify members of the affected Municipal Control Group. Upon notification, it is the
responsibility of control group members to assemble and manage the situation using the
procedures in their Municipal Emergency Plan.
As part of the Municipal Emergency Notification System, the Head of the County
Emergency Control Group, or the Operations Manager, or the Emergency Coordinator of
the County of Elgin, shall be notified. All members of the County Emergency Control
Group will be notified and placed on stand-by or asked to assemble. Notification will take
place in accordance with procedures detailed in the County Emergency Notification
section.
Decem ber 1998

Emergency Response Plan
County of Elgin
The emergency situation will dictate the County's response. When an emergency
requires only limited County support, a representative of the County Emergency Control
Group may join a Municipal Control Group or several members of the County Emergenèy
Control Group may meet to monitor the situation. When an emergency requires greater
County support or when it involves more than one Municipality, the County Emergency
Plan will be activated and the County Emergency Control Group will assemble at the
County Emergency Operations Centre.
The County of Elgin is neither empowered to declare an emergency nor to direct the
activities of local municipalities in responding to an emergency, unless the municipality(s)
involved request such assistance. Should a locally-based emergency escalate beyond
the general scope and capabilities of the affected municipality(s), the decision to invoke
the County Emergency Plan will be made as a result of discussion among the Head of the
Municipal Control Group(s), emergency response agencies involved, and the Head of the
County Emergency Control Group, Operations Manager, and Emergency Coordinator. If
the County Emergency Plan is activated, members of the County Emergency Control
Group, including key personnel from the affected Municipal Control Group(s) will
assemble to manage the emergency response in accordance with the County Emergency
Response Plan.
The request shall

The Business Cycle
It is important that the County Emergency Control Group meets regularly to share
information and make decisions. It is also important that members of the group have time
to deal with their individual responsibilities.
When the County Emergency Plan is activated, frequency of meetings and agenda items
will be established by the Operations Manager. Meetings will be kept as brief as possible
to allow members to carry out their individual responsibilities.
At each meeting the members will bring each other up to date on what has happened
since the last meeting, make recommendations on issues presented, and arrive at
decisions. Maps and status boards wi be prominently displayed and kept up to date by
the Operations Manager. When the meeting ends, each member will do what is
individually required of them, and can gather information to share at the next meeting

Communications
All communications will be received and sent from a communications room set up adjacent
to the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC). A representative from each emergency
response agency will work from this room. Telephones, radios or other communications
equipment shall not be permitted in the EOC.
At the emergency site, each response agency will appoint a communications officer to
regularly update their respective representative in the EOC communications room. From
the EOC communications room, radio and phone messages will be relayed (verbally or on
paper) to the relevant member of the CECG.
An important function of every agency is to provide timely information to the CECG for the
benefit of the decision-making process. This will necessitate reliable systems of
communications between the emergency site and the EOC and for every department
involved.
The telephone system will be used, if it is operational In addition, police and fire
representatives will have links with their respective radio communications. The Amateur
Radio Emergency Service is also available to assist, as described in Appendix F. This
service shall be activated by the CECG only.

Evacuation
In an emergency, It may be necessary for the residents to be temporarily evacuated.
When such an evacuation is deemed necessary, one or more emergency reception
centres may need to be opened in a safe area. The County has an agreement with the

institutions may be used as temporary reception centres in the event of an emergency.

Request for Provincia
If locally available resources, including those which might be available from bordering
municipalities and/or county sources, are insufficient to meet emergency requirements,
then assistance may be requested from the Province by the County on behalf of the
affected local municipality.
The Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services, through Emergency
Measures Ontario, is the focal point for provincial assistance during an emergency. It
should be notified if the threat of an emergency exists, and must be notified when an
emergency has been declared. While it will not take over and manage the emergency, it
can provide liaison and coordination, and a central point for contact with other provincial
ministries, and the federal government if required.
December 1998
County of Elgin Emergency Response Plan 26
-
All requests for provincial and federal assistance should be directed through Emergency
Measures Ontario. During working hours Emergency Measures Ontario can be reached
at:
On holidays, in the evening, or on weekends Emergency Measures Ontario can be
reached through the Duty Officer of the Ontario Provincial Police - General Headquarters
at:
ª¡e¡R;'~9!y'Qff!qª!ìf@ªñ§¡;ªÎBªªªqgªi1ªr§;øº§fªgªIª~Q::'
All assistance should be sought through Emergency Measures Ontario. When this
channel is used, the cost is charged to the Province; but if requests for assistance from a
community go straight to a Provincial or Federal department, the community will receive a
bill for the services.
Plan Review, Testing, and Maintenance
This plan shall be reviewed annually in January, and where necessary shall be revised by
the County Emergency Measures Committee.
Each time the plan is revised, it must be forwarded to County Council for approval;
however, revisions to an appendix or minor administrative changes can be made without
Council approval.
An annual exercise will be conducted to test the overall effectiveness of the plan and to
provide training to the members of the County Emergency Control Group.

A.R.E.S
Emergency Communications
Experience has shown that the telephone system may not be operational in a major
disaster. Even if the telephone facilities are not damaged as a result of the disaster, the
system including cellular telephones, becomes overloaded very quickly. In these
circumstances, radio communications must be used. These facilities are available from
several sources - police, fire, ambulance and amateur radio.
The Elgin County Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES.) groups are part of a
continent-wide organization of federally licensed radio amateurs committed to providing
communications in emergencies. This group is available to assist Elgin County with
emergency communications on request. ARES. members are equipped with base,
mobile, and hand held equipment, and are trained through periodic e)(ercises and practice
sessions to handle emergency communications efficiently. The Radio Act specifies that
no charge whatsoever may be made for this assistance.
The ARES. Emergency Communications Plans set forth a call-up procedure and specify
net operations procedures, etc. Messages can be handled within the immediate area,
throughout the province, or continent-wide. The Federal Government has established an
amateur radio station, VE3 GOC, in Ottawa for the purpose of country wide
communications in an emergency. The Provincial Government has established an
amateur radio station, VE3 EMO, at EMO headquarters in Toronto for the purpose of
province wide communications in an emergency. Members of ARES. will be in contact
with both stations in the event of a widespread disaster.
In an emergency, ARES. wi activate the stations it has established. Portable stations
will be set up on request at appropriate locations such as the disaster site, reception
centres, hospitals, morgue, etc.
upon
n addition, the local radio groups REACT and Golden Acres are available to assist
a request from members of ARES.

NOTE: The A.R.E.S. shall be activated by the County Emergency Control Group
only.
