Out-of-Date Disaster Plan Reviewed by Beach Council

Town of Colonial Beach
“Colonial Beach Town Council continued to work on the town’s emergency shelter and disaster preparedness plan. Council Member Jim Chiarello brought in Ruth Lovelace, Director of Emergency Management and Safety for the University of Mary Washington. She works with the American Red Cross during large scale emergencies.

Lovelace offered her expertise to help the town update their emergency manual prior to the mandatory Sept. 2014 state deadline. Virginia has certain templates that all localities in the commonwealth must follow for emergency situations. The state is working toward having a unified way to do things during a disaster to make it easier when emergencies strike.”
