BE PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES....LEARN HOW NOW!

 Emergency Management Program

With assistance from our community partners, the City has developed a comprehensive Emergency Management Program. 

Preservation of Life and Property

Ontario is subject to numerous identifiable hazards that fall under the broad categories of natural, technological and human-caused. Emergencies related to these hazards can occur at any time and in any place, with or without warning. The primary reason for an emergency management program is to improve public safety through a coordinated and pre-identified process for responding to critical situations. A realistic emergency management program will assist in protecting lives, infrastructure, and property, protect the environment, promote economic stability, and help ensure the continuance of critical assets and government.

Legislation

The Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act  requires municipalities to implement mandatory emergency management programs in conformity with regulations developed by Emergency Management Ontario. Collectively, these statutory requirements mandate how municipalities must prepare for, and respond to, emergency situations occurring within their jurisdictions.

Emergency Response Plan

The City of Temiskaming Shores Emergency Response Plan Emergency Response Plan was adopted by Council under By-law 2007-171 and all related activities are monitored by the Community Emergency Management Program Committee.
