An Emergency Bylaw provides for the establishment, administration and operation of an Emergency Response and Recovery Plan for the City. In the case of major emergency such as a flood or an earthquake, services might be interrupted without notice. Should this happen, the municipal emergency plan will be ready.
The Prince George Fire Chief is the Emergency Program Co-ordinator and is chair of the Emergency Planning Committee, which is comprised of City, RCMP, Fire, Communication and Ambulance officials.
