; WHEItEAS, the County of Grant will further seek to encourage the businesses,
industries, and community groups operating within and/or for the benefit of the county to also
participate in the future updating and expansion of the Grant County All-Hazard Emergency
Management Plan in the years ahead.
WHEREAS, it is neither implied nor should it be inferred that the Grant County All-
Hazards Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan guarantees that a perfect response to an
' incident(s) and/or disaster(s) will be practical or possible. No plan can shield individuals from
all incident(s) and/or disaster(s). While every reasonable effort will be made to respond to
incident(s) and/or disaster(s), resources and/or systems may be overwhelmed. Some events
' provide little or no warning to implement operational procedures and all emergency plans are
dependent upon tactical execution, which may be imperfect. This plan can only be fulfilled if the
situation, information exchange, extent of actual capabilities and resources are available at the
, time of the incident.

The Grant County Board of Commissioners hereby accepts and approves the revised
Grant County All-Hazards Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.
