Emergency Preparedness

Be Prepared

Back-to-school season is a great opportunity to add or update preparedness habits in your household routine. #BePrepared by:

  • Creating community connections with people who work at your children’s schools or have children that attend the same one. Talk about how you can help each other in various situations or emergencies, big or small, throughout the school year.
  • Making a plan with your kids and other household members. Define key details like meeting place(s) to reunite and trusted contacts to connect with if separated during an emergency. Ensure everyone has both a digital and printed copy of a contact card with important phone numbers.
  • Discussing local hazards with your household and how to prepare for them.

 
The more prepared you and your household are, the more resilient you can be during stressful situations. Learn more about how to build resiliency with Be Prepared programming and resources.
 

Sturgeon Regional Emergency Management Plan

 

Legal along with Bon Accord, Gibbons, Morinville, Redwater and Sturgeon County have cooperatively developed Sturgeon Regional Emergency Management Partnership (SREMP) with the support and approval from the Minister of Municipal Affairs. 

SREMP promotes increased co-ordination, co-operation, collaboration, capacity, and integration by all six member municipalities and the province during all phases of emergency management: planning and preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. The Plan also enhances emergency preparedness, public education, and common public messaging for each of the key hazards the region may face and will strengthen regional information sharing, communications, and joint planning, training, and exercises.
