  • Mississippi Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan 2020 Mrepp
    MISSISSIPPI RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN 2020 MREPP Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, Office of Response and Radiological Emergency Preparedness October 2020 2020 MREPP This page left blank intentionally. ii 01 October 2020 2020 MREPP Promulgation Statement Transmitted herewith is the revised Mississippi Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan (MREPP). This plan supersedes all previous plans and may not be reproduced without prior authorization. It provides a framework for structuring and planning State and Local Civil Defense/Emergency Management offsite emergency response to radiological emergencies. Inherent in the issuance of this plan, as an integral part of the Mississippi Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, is recognition of the interrelationship between radiological emergency preparedness planning and other emergency planning. The State's overall emergency planning effort is based on the premise that similarities among the various emergencies, which threaten the public, require maximum standardization of procedures and practices to the extent possible. The State also recognizes the dynamics associated with planning and, consequently, plan upgrading will be accomplished at least annually, and in the ultimate will be a continuing process with the objective of protection of the people from personal injury or loss of life and mitigation of damage or loss of property resulting from radiological emergencies. By virtue of the authority vested in me, by the Constitution of Mississippi and Title 33, Chapter 15, Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended, I hereby promulgate and issue the MREPP as the official guidance of all concerned. It is in the opinion of the State, the plans/procedures are adequate to protect the health and safety of its citizens by providing reasonable assurance that state, local, and tribal governments can and intend to effect appropriate protective measures offsite in the event of a radiological emergency (44 CFR 350.7(d)).
