Brigantine staff present updated Emergency Operations Plan tied to grant requirements
Summary
City staff summarized a comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan update — including a revised hazard matrix, clarified roles for departments and businesses, and language intended to meet grant performance requirements — as council moved the accompanying resolution forward for consideration.
Brigantine city staff presented an updated Emergency Operations Plan and introduced resolution 20244, which would formalize the update.
J, the department coordinator, told the council the plan is organized in two main parts and includes a refreshed hazard matrix that considers natural and technological threats. "This plan plays [out] how to organize sanly and efficiently as possible and helps to make a connection between planning and event response," J said, summarizing the document's approach and its role in establishing departmental responsibilities.
According to the presentation, the plan clarifies roles and responsibilities for city departments and local businesses, incorporates historical and emerging threats, and aligns with the city's performance grant requirements for 2023. J said staff had solicited input from departments and businesses and made edits based on that feedback to better support large-scale response functions.
Council members did not debate the substance in depth during the presentation; the item remained on the agenda for formal consideration under the referenced resolution. Staff characterized the update as foundational for future emergency response work and said more operational plans will be developed to support the EOP's key functions.
The council proceeded with routine consent business after the presentation. The record shows the EOP update was introduced to the body for action under resolution 20244; the next procedural step on the resolution was not recorded in the public portion of the transcript provided here.
