Mendon Community Emergency Plan

Mendon City Residents,

Mendon’s Community Emergency Plan is designed to maintain communication with citizens and provide assistance in the event of an emergency or disaster. The plan is found on our web-site at the Mendon Fire Department under “Emergency Preparedness” and “Are You Prepared?” There is also a copy available at the city office.

The plan is a common sense approach to preparedness that encourages action, not reaction. This plan does not take the place of individual and family preparedness.

Mendon City and our surrounding community is divided up into 5 geographic districts. The City in conjunction with the LDS church oversees the appointment of a district coordinator from each district and provides training. District coordinators then appoint and train area and neighborhood coordinators or block captains. Other duties of the district coordinator include:

- Identify in advance the resources available and special needs within their area

- Relay emergency information from neighborhood and area coordinators to the City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in the event of communications breakdown.

- Relay emergency instructions and information from the EOC to area coordinators

- Direct area and neighborhood coordinators in providing resources requested by the EOC

- Identify appropriate facilities within the district as emergency shelters

I encourage residents to become part of their organized neighborhood group, under the
direction of the appointed neighborhood coordinator. I ask that you welcome and assist
your neighborhood block captain as he/she contacts you. Please be willing to share
information that may benefit you family in the event of an emergency. I believe that an
important part of overcoming the effects of a disaster will be directly related to the trust
and friendship we develop with our neighborhood coordinator and other neighbors.
It is imperative we all pull together to prepare for emergencies and work together in time
of need.

Additionally, there are training and volunteer opportunities available through the City.
For information about Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), Volunteers in
Emergency Services, or Amateur Radio Corps. Contact Ray Olsen Emergency director
at 752-9195.

Sincerely,
Ed Buist
Mayor
