Dear Mr. Mayor:

During the past year, the Provincial Emergency Program
has been conducting the Orientation Course fox Disaster
Planning. The object of this course is to provide a
Comprehensive instruction in basic disaster mitigation
planning for all Area Co-ordinators within the Province.
Mr/Mrs. Robert Lajoie, the Co-ordinator who represents
your area, has attended the course. It is hoped that you
will meet with him/her and discuss the course content.
Concurrently, each Co-ordinator has been furnished with
several documents including a 'Model Emergency Plan' which
is intended to function as an aid in formulating or up-
dating Municipal Emergency Plans. You may wish to look
at these papers.

Further to the above, a similar course will be offered to
Mayors and Aldermen to provide an opportunity for Elected
Officials to participate in a course of instruction in the
field of Municipal Disaster Planning. Would you please

poll your Aldermen and kindly advise this office if they
would be willing to attend a two or three day Emergency
Planning Course in Victoria. Travel, meals and accomodation
expenses will be covered by the Provincial Emergency
Program. Your response will make it easier for us in our
endeavour to assist you.

For further information, I may be contacted at telephone
number 294-8202.

Yours_.truly,
