The municipal plan organises alerting, information, protection and support of the population locally. In France it is mandatory for municipalities with an approved risk-prevention plan, and must be reviewed at least every 5 years.

1 · Risk assessment

• List local hazards (official maps, Géorisques equivalents)
• Identify what is at stake: population, sensitive sites (schools, care homes), networks
• Map exposed areas

2 · Crisis organisation

• Municipal command post and cells
• Directory and on-call rota
• Mission sheets by function

3 · Alerting & informing the population

• Alerting means (sirens, mobile unit, link with national alert)
• Ready-to-send template messages
• Register of vulnerable people (heat / cold plan)

4 · Resources & support

• Emergency shelter locations (capacity, agreements)
• People and equipment available
• Agreements with approved charities and businesses

5 · Keep it live

• Update at least every 5 years
• Periodic municipal exercise
• Inform the population (preventive information)
