“Emergency preparedness is everyone's responsibility. Prepare your emergency survival kit today for a safer tomorrow.”
Emergency Response Plan
The Township of Greater Madawaska is required to maintain an Emergency Plan. The plan is modelled under the Ontario Incident Management System, the management functions under the IMS system are; command, operations, planning, logistics and finance/adminstration. IMS is a standardized system that allows all who respond, including other municipalities and EMS services, to a situation to create a unifed plan to manage the incident. The plan is in place to protect the property, health, safety and welfare of the residents, businesses and visitors.
Keep everyone safe
When you prepare for an emergency, think about the people and animals within your home that may require extra help during an emergency. Test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms regularly to ensure they are in proper working fork.
