Section 7503 of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management
Services Code, 35 Pa.C.S.A. § 7101 et seq., mandates that
Butler Township prepare, maintain and keep current an emergency operations
plan for the prevention and minimization of injury and damage caused
by a major emergency or disaster.
In response to the mandate stated above, this
Township had prepared an emergency operations plan to provide prompt
and effective emergency response procedures to be followed in the
event of a major emergency or disaster.
This Township had also prepared an emergency
operations plan in order to reduce the potential effects of a major
emergency or disaster and to protect the health, safety and welfare
of the residents of this Township.
The Commissioners of Butler Township do hereby
repeal the previous emergency operations plan that was adopted in
1991 and approve, adopt, and place into immediate effect the Butler
County Emergency Operations Plan as the official plan for Butler Township.
This plan shall be reviewed annually by Butler County and Butler Township
to make certain that it conforms with Butler Township's emergency
response needs and requirements.
