Governor Doyle accepted the preparedness plan today.

Local, state and federal agencies worked together to create the strategy.

This year we have concentrated on implementing the national incident management system, which is a standardized, nationwide approach for federal, state and local governments to coordinate efforts to prepare for, respond to and recover from a disaster.

A major part of the project was creating mass evacuation plans for the entire state.

It includes primary and secondary routes for residents to use in an event of an emergency.
