3 PART A - GENERAL I INTRODUCTION The Emergency Measures Plan included is composed of three parts. Part A presents the general information about the following document, Part B describes the Emergency Measures Plan, and Part C describes the available resources in the region. The plan has been created in collaboration with the New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization. All community representatives, appointed or elected, that participate in the plan must be aware of their responsibilities and roles in an emergency situation. They must also be ready to assume these responsibilities and roles. The success and effectiveness of the plan depends on their commitment. The federal government, the provincial government, as well as the volunteer organizations that play a role in the plan in question, must be ready to assume their responsibilities; they should also be kept up to date on any modification to the plan. The plan should be tested every two years, either in its entirety, or partially. We hope that we never have to use this plan. However, if we are ready to intervene in emergency situations, that could reduce injuries, loss of life and material damage in case of disaster.

8 PART B EMERGENCY MEASURES PLAN I BASIC PLAN 1. General The Beaubassin-est Rural Community accepts the responsibility of planning in case of emergencies that may arise in times of peace that could endanger lives, physical assets or the environment, in this community or elsewhere. Beaubassin-est can conclude a mutual aid agreement with other surrounding municipalities. 2. Objectives This plan defines the responsibilities and the immediate measures to be taken by the people, the community services and the volunteer organizations in the case of an emergency in times of peace. 3. Definitions The following definitions are applicable to the overall plan: 3.1 Emergency: An event, current or emerging, that, according to the community, justifies an immediate and coordinated intervention (or the control of people or physical assets) in order to protect the health or the well-being of the population. 3.2 Disaster: A event, reel or predicted, like a disease, the plague, a fire, a flood, a storm, an explosion, an enemy attack, sabotage or spilling of products that endanger the health, the security, or the well-being of the population, the environment or the physical assets. 3.3 Emergency Measures Plan: Any plan, program or procedure prepared by the community, aiming to: 1) diminish the effects of an emergency or a disaster, and 2) protect the health and the well-being of the population, the environment, as well as the physical assets during an emergency or a disaster. 3.4 EOC or Emergency Operation Centre: The building designated as the area where the Emergency Measures Committee will work in order to coordinate the work carried out during the event in question. 4.

Victim and Rescuer Services The Red Cross will be available, when requested, to offer basic services to victims and to coordinate these services. There are five essential elements for the victim services: i. Shelter: People that need shelter can be housed in hotels or in community centres in the area. ii. iii. iv. Registration and investigating: When people arrive to a designated shelter, there will need to be an attendance book on site to ensure proper management of the people there, but especially to help reunite family members. People can ask to have a certain level of confidentiality, if needed. Clothing: Businesses in the area can be approached in order to buy clothing for the victims. Some non-profit organizations can also provide some. Food: Most of the community centres have a kitchen with the necessary tools to prepare a meal for many people, as well as a list of volunteer workers. A special attention will be needed for allergies and for different religions that may have different eating patterns. v. Personal services: Some victims may need prescriptions or other personal effects; pharmacies in the area can be contacted for the purchase of these items. A recreation service or babysitting service for kids could help relax the victims during these hard times. A carpooling service could also help out those that need to get to work, or to other places. Some people could also need extra help to evacuate their houses, like older people, people with special needs or those that do not speak English or French. There should also be a designated area to keep the victims pets. 15.
