Emergency Management
“Emergency preparedness is everyone’s responsibility. Prepare your emergency survival kit today for a safer tomorrow.”

All levels of government have an important role to play in emergency preparedness and response. But emergency preparedness starts with the individual. An Emergency Survival Kit Checklist and other emergency preparedness information is available at the Township Office and at www.emergencymanagementontario.ca
