"There was a little misun- dertstanding during the time of the tornado, and there was some criticism of the County of Huron, We think this should be cleared up with a testament of policy." The committee report, as signed by Mr. Mcllwain and adopted unanimously by County Council, was as follows: "The Committee feels that the functions of the Emergency Measures, as far as the County of Huron is concerned, should be clarified to avoid any mis- understanding. "Basically, the County stay- ed in the Emergency Measures program to avoid having to re- pay monies to the Province of Ontario for equipment which was on hand. When it was de- cided last year to curtail the Emergency Measures program, the initial thought was to dis- band the organization corn plere - ly; however, upon further in- vestigation it was discovered that a more reasoneble approach would be to curtail the program but at the same time to appoint an acting co-ordinator. "As it stands at the present time, the Emergency Measures department has a small amount of equipment which could be made available under certain circumstances, This equipment is very limited in scope. "however, one feature ofre- taining this organization, al- lows for possible assistance through other channels. In the event of an emergency it is pos- sible that assistance can be se- cured through the Emergency Measures Branch. On the other hand, as was the case recently, assistance was secured through the efforts of our Huron County Road Department." The committee's policy was outlined in the report: "The committee feels that in future, when an emergency arises where outside assistance might be required, the reeve of the municipality or a responsible of- ficial should contact the War- den; the Warden, in turn, should contact the Acting Co-ordinator to determine what action, if any, can be taken. "As arrangements stand at the present time, only the War- den has authority to take neces- sary action regarding an emer- gency. The Warden, at the same time, will instruct the Co-ordinator as to what func- tions he is to carry out or what other duties lie is to continue, "Another factor in favor of retaining the Emergency Mea- sures program was to allow the continuance of Aexiliary Po- lice. Some of the municipali ties are taking advantage of this program. The main bene- fit of carrying out the Auxiliary Police program through the Emergency Measures Organiza- tion, is to allow for subsidy on purchasing uniforms, etc. There is one other point with regard to the Emergency Mea- sures Organization in that when funds are available, certain firefighting equipment can be secured through the Emergency Measures Branch. At present, however, all provincial funds for this program have been spent and there will be no fur- ther allocation for a year or two. Acting co-ordinator for the Emergency Measures program is County Clerk-Treasurer John G. Berry, who was appointed by County Council where the EMO program in the Huron County was curtailed.
