As much as we all might hope and wish that an emergency won’t occur, we need to think about how we’ll deal with a possible emergency situation. By preparing for potential emergencies, communities and residents can reduce the impact emergencies have on our lives and property.
The Municipal Emergency Response Plan outlines how our community will mobilize in the event of an emergency. The ERP provides a breakdown of the roles and responsibilities for the various individuals and groups that will respond when an emergency occurs.
