If you need emergency assistance, please call 9-1-1.
You can do your part by being prepared. The steps outlined by the Government of Canada are simple:
To equip you for any type of emergency, visit emergency services for details about fire dispatch, hospitals, and paramedic services available in the community.
Learn about Flood Preparation and Recovery and Flood Impact and Recovery to make sure you are prepared for severe weather and natural disaster events.
Our Emergency Response Plan (Appendix A, Appendix B) helps to ensure the safety of everyone who lives in our community. The Plan details the roles and responsibilities of officials from the County Control Group, Emergency Operations Centre and support team in the event of an emergency. It ensures that essential services and government processes continue to be followed.
The Ontario Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act helps us be prepared for any high level emergency or major event, including natural disasters and human-caused events. They can threaten your health, safety, and environment so it is important that we prepare for the whole community's benefit.
