Dupont Council adopts updated Emergency Operations Plan
Summary
Dupont Borough Council unanimously adopted Resolution 5 of 2025, putting an updated Emergency Operations Plan prepared by Emergency Management Coordinator Joseph J. Jones into effect; the plan centralizes contacts and response checklists for catastrophic events.
Dupont Borough Council on Feb. 10 unanimously adopted Resolution 5 of 2025 to place an updated Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) into effect.
The EOP, prepared by Emergency Management Coordinator Joseph J. Jones and distributed to council, lists emergency contacts, response checklists and roles the borough will use in the event of a catastrophic flood or other large‑scale emergency. Joseph J. Jones said the plan compiles personnel and agency contacts "so that in case of emergency everyone has the same plan and information." Council voted 5–0 on the motion to adopt the plan.
Why it matters: the borough's engineer said the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) requested an updated EOP as part of flood control project oversight. The update formalizes who holds the plan and how to implement it in a worst‑case scenario, addressing DEP's expectation for coordinated response protocols.
Council next steps include filing the EOP at required locations and continuing coordination between the borough office and emergency management staff for any remaining personnel details. The council motion was procedural and adopted without amendment.
