12 (2) Continual updating and revision of our City emergency plan; ( 3) Attendance at various county/Civil Defense seminars to update necessary changes pertaining to project papers and financial categories; (4) Studied a home study course which pertained to on-going educa- tion for a Civil Defense/Emergency Director; and (5) Developing personnel into certain categories of the emergency plan with specific responsibilities. In general , the siren capabilities have been restored, tested and are operational after many hours of research and coordination between the City and the telephone company. The Emergency Plan is being developed on an on-going basis . The updating and simplifying of its contents are top priority. The City Manager and Fire Chief attended a training session on this subject. Information gleaned from the session will assist is com- pleting an updated/condensed - plan during 1983 . The Finance Director and Fire Chief have attended one day briefings on program papers and financial categories . • The delegation and responsibilities for specific categories have been established and the radiological and communications sections are being assembled at present . At the national level , the general outlook for 1983 is to move towards a more uniform approach on training and produce criteria to which all communities can relate . With military and security having a high priority from the present administration , it is evident the emphasis on emergency planning will have a high priority as an end result. On the local level , we are aiming toward 1) completion of an updated version of the emergency plan ; 2) getting the proper personnel in- volved and versed in their responsibilities ; 3) reviewing #1 and #2 above with the Hennepin County coordinators to set up a drill/exercise; 4) continually training personnel in various specialized categories ; 5) working with Hennepin County personnel toward a, radio activated alerting system for sirens , which is being comtemplated for 1983; and 6) to continually work towards an emergency program that will be integrated with daily activities of the City and with the public sectors that would be involved . When all involved agencies are coordinated, one can readily see the broad scope of emergency planning. With the assistance and coopera- • tion of everyone involved, completion of this plan will be accomplished and beneficial to all communities .
