HARVEY RURAL COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN 2025 HARVEY RURAL COMMUNITY EMERGENCY PLAN   Approved by EMO Committee: Approved by Council: JunE lo 12N2 Mayor MAn 18/25 LIST OF AMENDMENTS:  | AMENDMENT NO. | DATE | BY WHOM AMENDED | DATE AMENDED | |-----------------|--------|-------------------|----------------| ## HISTORY Harvey Rural Community was officially established on January 1, 2023, as a result of New Brunswick's comprehensive local governance reform. This marked one of the most substantial local governance restructurings in the province's history, aiming to modernize the system, reduce redundancies, and provide better service delivery. Harvey Rural Community was officially formed by amalgamating the Village of Harvey and parts of four local service districts - Manners Sutton, Dumfries, Prince William, and Kingsclear. This amalgamation allowed the community to pool resources, better manage service delivery, and provide a more unified voice for its residents. The Harvey Rural Community now represents a diverse and dynamic entity, better equipped to face the future's challenges and opportunities. ## Map of Harvey   ## INTRODUCTION The Municipal Emergency Response Plan outlined herein comprises three parts: Part I - the Basic Plan. Part II - the Specific Plans. Provides more detailed planning for potential hazards and emergencies which have been identified as being likely to affect our Rural Community. Part III - the Individual Plans. Provides detailed plans for the various departments and agencies involved in the emergency preparedness operation. This plan was prepared in conjunction with the provincial Emergency Measures Organization. All appointed and elected municipal officials' and employees involved in the plan must be aware to carry out their responsibilities and duties during the emergency. The plan's success and effectiveness depend on their commitment. Federal, Provincial, and volunteer agencies having a role in the plan must be prepared to meet their responsibilities and must be kept informed of any planned revisions. The plan is to be exercised annually, in full or in part. We hope it will never have to be used in crises. Nonetheless, being prepared for emergencies may help to reduce injuries, loss of life and damage to property & environment, should a disaster or emergency occur.
