Abstract

A local authority shall appoint an emergency advisory committee by (a) bylaw, if the local authority is a municipal council, the settlement council of a Metis settlement, or the band council of an Indian band, or (b) order, if the local authority is the Minister responsible for the Municipal Government Act, the Minister responsible for the Special Areas Act, or a park superintendent of a national park or a superintendent’s delegate. A local authority shall appoint an emergency advisory committee. The bylaw or order must (a) set out the purposes of the committee, both during an emergency or disaster and when those events are not occurring, (b) establish that the committee provides guidance and direction to the local authority’s emergency management agency, (c) establish procedures that must be followed when declaring a state of local emergency, (d) identify the committee’s membership and Chair by title or position, (e) set out a minimum meeting frequency for the committee, which must be at least once per year, and (f) outline committee quorum and procedural requirements for decision making unless these requirements are set out in another local authority bylaw. The Agency is responsible for the administration of the local authority’s emergency management program. A local authority’s emergency management agency must review the emergency plan that applies to that local authority at least once per year. A local authority’s emergency management agency must make the emergency plan that applies to that local authority available to the Alberta Emergency Management Agency for review and comment annually.
