Emergency Response Plan
Elliot Lake Council has adopted an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) for the City. The ERP outlines the plans and arrangements needed to protect public safety. We developed this plan to ensure that all resources are deployed effectively in the event of an emergency.
The ERP provides key Elliot Lake officials, agencies and departments with important response information on topics such as:
- Arrangements
- Services
- Equipment
- Roles and responsibilities
The ERP also includes an evacuation plan in case all residents must leave the city immediately.
