Citizens' Disaster Council
The Citizens Disaster Council is an advisory committee mandated by the Town Code that meets on an as-needed basis, usually quarterly.
The duties of the Disaster Council are to develop and recommend emergency and mutual aid plans and agreements for adoption by the Town Council, as well as ordinances, resolutions, rules and regulations necessary to implement such plans and agreements. The Disaster Council is responsible for the development of the Town’s emergency plan, which provides for the effective mobilization of all of the resources of the town, both public and private, to meet any conditions constituting a local emergency, state of emergency, or state of war emergency, and provides for the organization, powers and duties, services and staff of the emergency organization. The plan is in effect upon adoption by resolution of the Town Council.
Meeting Schedule
Meetings for the Citizens' Disaster Council occur periodically, with the next meeting date determined at the end of each meeting. Agendas are posted on the Town Hall Bulletin Board, the bulletin board outside the Women’s Club, and at the Post Office, 72 hours prior to the meeting date.
