Plan

By Jim Hink

Is there a plan in this city Batavia in case of emergency????? ,,

Thanks

Charlie Mallow

Jim, there are plans in our code for the continuity of government and taking emergency measures. Our public safety departments stand ready to help as well but, depending on the size of the event, I believe we would be quickly overwhelmed. We simply do not have the ability in a city our size to manage a major catastrophe. Even our firefighting capabilities take into account our neighbors coming to our aid as we would come to theirs. Recent history has shown that even larger cities like New Orleans cannot help themselves without state and federal aid.

I have to believe however that unlike the residents of New Orleans, should the folks in charge of a preparing for a natural or man-made disaster here tell us for several days before hand we need to leave, we actually would.
