As the safety and welfare of Tribal members is extremely important to Tribal Council, this storm prompted them to begin coordinating depart mental efforts to deal with these types of storms and emergencies. An inter-departmental Emergency Response Plan will be developed to help Tribal members deal with events such as severe snow storms. The Emer gency Response Plan will eventually lead to a comprehensive Disaster Plan. For further information, please contact Charles G.
