Statement of
Purpose:
The UPEPC is
a voluntary group of Union Pass community members organized to recognize
emergency issues and develop a cooperative plan for prevention and
response within our service area.
Objectives:
I.
Preparedness:
A. To familiarize
ourselves with the local emergency responders and associated government
agencies working in the Union Pass area, to coordinate with and
supplement their services.
B. To learn
to utilize all resources available to us and be a communications
link between the neighborhoods and those resource providers.
C. To initiate
and sponsor projects to help minimize hazards on private property.
D. To encourage
communication, cooperation and participation in all phases of
the planning and management projects.
E. To provide
information to increase disaster readiness and formulate plans
to respond to emergencies in ways that ensure resident safety
and maximum protection of property.
II. Disaster
Response:
A. To follow
the instructions of and/or assist emergency teams as requested.
B. To activate
a prepared neighbor-to-neighbor communications process that can
reach all neighbors known to be in residence at the time of a
disaster or evacuation and, as possible, to transmit
that resident information to the officials assigned to manage
the event/evacuation.
