Emergency Planning Act (S.S. 1989-90, c. E-8.1).

The present Act provides for the establishment of emergency plans by municipalities. This also empowers Councils to be responsible for the direction and control of a municipal emergency response (to take action to implement the plan and to protect the property, health, safety and welfare of the public). Section 4 provides for the establishment of the Provincial Committee. This Committee shall: a) prepare an emergency plan for Saskatchewan, for approval by the Minister, governing: i) the provision of necessary services during an emergency; and ii) the procedures under and the manner in which persons will respond to an emergency; and b) advise the Minister respecting emergency planning matters.
