Amendment #3 to H4196

An Amendment Relating to Designation of Emergency Management Personnel

Mr. Naughton of Clinton moves to amend the amendment by adding in Section 5 a new subsection (i):

i) On or before October 1 of each year, every city or town must notify each investor-owned electric distribution or natural gas distribution company and the Massachusetts emergency management agency the name of the emergency management official or designee responsible for coordinating the emergency response during storm restoration.  If a municipality does not have a designated emergency management official, the chief municipal officer shall designate one public safety official responsible for said emergency response.
