Thompson Town disaster risk management plan
This plan was developed with the guidance and assistance of the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM) and the Clarendon Parish Council. Under the Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management Act 1993, ODPEM has the responsibility for ensuring development of hazard management plans.
This plan aims to provide residents with a workable emergency system to minimize loss of life and property to prevent disasters from occurring; a basic outline of shelters, welfare and relief system as well as some focus on evacuation planning that will make preparation, response and recovery from a disaster more effective; an emergency contact list and identification of vulnerable populations living in Thompson Town; a basic guideline for the community as to who is responsible for what and who is in charge of critical functions in managing an emergency; and an overall framework for reducing risks in the community including mitigation and preparedness.
