Nevada to review casino response plans
By Jeff German, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Nevada officials have embarked on a broad campaign to improve oversight of casino emergency response plans in the wake of failings exposed in a Review-Journal investigation.
“We recognize there’s a shortcoming here, and we’ve got an aggressive plan to fix it going forward,” said Caleb Cage, chief of the Nevada Division of Emergency Management.
The Review-Journal reported last month that state officials had been lax in forcing casinos across Nevada to comply with a 2003 law that requires resorts to file emergency plans.
