a measure(s)

0 I know that if we use the word 'measure' to mean 'a method of achieving something', it should be in plural form, i.e.02br
02br
00 We need to take emergency measures to help the poor.02br
02br
00However, if I want to indicate only one method, should I still use the plural form? i.e. which is correct:02br
02br
00#1. This is a good measure to help the poor.02br
00#2. This is a good measures to help the poor.02br
02br
00Thanks.02br
