FD 10-85 - 2 -
The Emergency Plans Act, 1983 is the legal authority for the formulation and
implementation of Municipal Emergency Plans.
It is the duty of the Municipal , Provincial and Federal governments, indi-
vidually and collectively to be prepared to act against these emergencies
in peace and war to protect the lives, safety and property of the citizens
of Ontario.
While the responsibility and authority for dealing with emergencies belong
to the Municipality, depending on the scale and duration of an emergency,
their capability can and will be supplemented, as required, from Regional ,
Provincial , Federal and other sources.
Mr. J. L. Ellard, Deputy Co-ordinator of Emergency Planning for Ontario,
was contacted and requested, through the Solicitor General ' s office, to
forward information and guidelines regarding Emergency Planning, to this
Department. The Emergency Plan submitted has been drafted using these
Provincial guidelines.
The draft plan was submitted to the Province for review and comment in
November, 1984. Suggested changes to the Plan were made and then it
was forwarded to the Emergency Planning Co-ordinator for Durham Region,
Staff Sergeant Dan T. Matthews. Having received a favourable comment
from Staff Sergeant Matthews, the Emergency Plan is now submitted to
Committee.
I might add that this is just the first step to Emergency Planning. It is
intended to help our community more efficiently prepare to handle any one
of several types of emergencies that may occur.
To ensure that the Emergency Plan will function, certain duties are
directed to members of the Municipal Control Group. It is the responsi-
bility of individual Municipal Control Group members to read the plan
and insure that their areas of responsibility are attended to.
This Emergency Plan does not address Emergency Planning for the Darlington
Generating Station, as the responsibility for the preparation of a detailed
plan falls under the direction of Ontario Hydro for on site planning.
Any off site planning for radiation emergencies is the Provincial Govern-
ment's responsibility.
Continued. . . .
- 3 -
The on and off site plans for Darlington will be written to co-ordinate with
Emergency Planning at all levels of government, Municipal , Regional , Provin-
cial and Federal .
The draft Emergency Plan has also been circulated to Department Heads for
comment and review of their respective responsibilities.
Respectfully submitted,
. Aldridge,
Fire Chief.

MUNICIPALITY OF THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE
EMERGENCY PLAN
This plan has been formulated to assign responsibilities and to guide the
immediate actions of key officials in the first few critical hours after
the onset of an emergency.
For this plan to be effective, it is essential that all concerned be made
aware of its provisions and that every official and department be prepared
to carry out their assigned functions and responsibilities in an emergency.
Regular exercises should be staged to ensure the arrangements embodied in
this plan are kept current and that all are kept familiar with its provi-
sions. Department heads should likewise review and keep up to date their
own procedures and arrangements for responding to emergencies.

MUNICIPALITY OF THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE
EMERGENCY PLAN
INTRODUCTION
1 . ) Emergencies are defined as situations or the threat of
impending situations abnormally affecting property and
the health, safety and welfare of a community, which
by their nature or magnitude require a controlled and
co-ordinated response by all agencies. These are dis-
tinct from routine operations carried out by municipal
agencies, e.g, firefighting, police or works departments,
etc.
2. ) Legislation entitled "The Emergency Plans Act, 1983" ,
is the primary authority enabling passage of the by-
law formulating this emergency plan, which will govern
the provision of necessary services during an emergency.
This plan also prescribes procedures under the manner
in which municipal employees and other persons will
respond to an emergency. Important measures enabled
under the legislation and which form part of this plan
are:
(a) expenditure of monies associated with the formu-
lation and implementation of the emergency plan;
(b) authorization for municipal employees to take
appropriate action before formal declaration of an
emergency;
(c) specify procedures to be taken for safety and
for evacuation of persons in an emergency area;
(d) designate other members of council who may exer-
cise powers and perform the duties of the Head of
Council under the emergency plan during the absence
of the Head of Council or upon his inability to act;
(e) establish committees and designate employees to
be responsible for reviewing the emergency plan,
training employees in their function and implementing
the emergency plan during an emergency; -
(f) obtaining and distributing materials, equipment
and supplies during an emergency, and
(g) such other matters as are considered necessary or
advisable for the implementation of the emergency plan
during an emergency.
- 2 -
E 'C�)
3. ) The structure of the Durham Regional Government is such
that many of the essential services required during
emergencies are within its jurisdiction, e.g. Police, Social
Services, Public Works and Health. Fire Service and
local Public Works responsibilities are retained at
area municipal level with the availability of support
of the regional services mentioned above.
In response to any major emergency it is essential
that there be one main control centre at Regional
level . It is recognized the Area Municipalities will
want to respond to local emergencies by taking obvious
immediate actions within their own resources and with
the support of local sections of Regional Services.
In some cases, this will be all that will be required.
4. ) Purpose - The purpose of this plan is to establish
emergency procedures and a Control Group within the
Town of Newcastle to co-ordinate local response to
major emergencies in order to review the situation
and determine the necessity to activate the Regional
Emergency Operations Control Group (REOCG) of the
Regional Municipality of Durham and to make provision
for the extraordinary arrangements and measures that
may have to be taken to safeguard property and the
health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the
Municipality of the Town of Newcastle when faced with
an emergency.
5. ) Activation - The emergency actions as outlined in this
Plan will-be initiated by the authorized personnel and
agencies of the Town of Newcastle upon notification
that an abnormal emergency situation has or is likely
to become existant.
MUNICIPAL CONTROL GROUP
6. ) If it is determined that the situation requires the
activation of the RECG, the RECG shall be alerted and
the members of the Municipal Control Group (MCG) will
assume their individual responsibilities in the RECG's
Peacetime Emergency Plan .
Emergency Operations will be directed and controlled
by the elected and appointed officials listed here-
under who will assemble for this purpose at the Opera-
tions Centre, (Police-Fire Building, 2nd Floor Court-
room). This group will be known as the Municipal
Control Group (MCG) and will be composed of:
(a) Mayor or alternate
(b) Chief Administrative Officer
(c) Police Chief or alternate
(d) Fire Chief or alternate
(e) Director of Public Works or alternate
(f) Health Official or alternate
(g) Social Service Director of Community Services or
al ternate.
(h) Support stiff for MCG - as listed 'in Appendix 1/1 .

7. ) Support Group - A support group should be formed from
members o public and private agencies having special-
ist knowledge and advice to give. This group should
be drawn from organizations listed hereunder and may i
be called upon individually or asked to deliberate and
make recommendations collectively.
(a) Public Utilities (hydro, gas, telephone)
(b) School Board
(c) Transportation company
(d) Ambulance service
(e) Caterers
(f) Red Cross Co-ordinator
(Contact persons for support group listed in Appendix #1 )
8. ) Authority - The Emergency Plans Act, 1983 states a "Head
ofCoun 1 may declare that an emergency exists in the
Municipality or in any part thereof and may take such
action and make such orders as he considers necessary
and are not contrary to the law to implement the emer-
gency plan of the Municipality and to protect the
property and the health, safety and welfare of the in-
habitants of the emergency area". Accordingly, it is
the rincipal function of the Municipal Control Group
(MCG and the Support Group, if assembled, to assist
the Head of Council in making and placing in effect
any decisions and orders that are made to control and
mitigate the effects of an emergency.
9. ) Implementation and Procedures - Emergencies could arise
with o without warning; is plan takes into account
and is intended to deal with the worst case, a situation
that develops without warning.
10. ) An emergency will usually be reported or discovered
by either police or fire services who would, in any
event, be among the first to be called to the scene
of a potential emergency. A senior member of the
police or fire department, police chief or alternate,
fire chief or alternate, should personally assume con-
trol at the site of an emergency or arrange for an on-
site co-ordinator to take charge immediately and then,
depending upon the situation, he or she may make a
decision to alert and assemble the MCG in accordance
with the procedure as outlined in detail - Appendix #1 .
MUNICIPAL CONTROL GROUP OPERATIONS
11 . ) Upon assembling, the Head of Council with the advice
of other members of the MCG, may make a decision to
declare an emergency and invoke the provisions of this
emergency plan.
i
o (t��
- 4 -
12. ) General - The role of the MCG can best be accomplished by
round—fable assessment of events as they occur and by agree-
ing on a course of action to overcome specific problems,
areas or situations. Normally, an agreed course of action
will be implemented by municipal departments functioning
primarily within their own spheres, but co-ordinated through '
the MCG.
13. ) Communications and Co-ordination - An important function of
every department is to provede imely information for the
benefit of the MCG decision making process. This will
necessitate a reliable system of communication between the
emergency site and the MCG operations centre (Police-Fire
Building) . The Fire Department radio communication system
will be used (3 channel capability) plus the telephone system.
14. ) Once decisions have been taken by the MCG, it is essential
they be quickly and accurately passed to every response
agency and where necessary, to the public. This function
should fall to the Chief Administration Officer, who will
act as Operations Officer and be responsible for co-ordinating
the activities of the operations centre and for ensuring
good communications between all agencies involved in emer-
gency operations.
