Emergency Response Planning
The City is updating its Emergency Response Plans and wants to hear from community members about how they plan for, and recover from, emergencies and/or disasters.
Whether you have a plan in place to prepare for and respond to emergencies and disasters on not, residents are invited to share this critically important information with the City by taking the Household Emergency Preparation Survey.
Understanding how well the community is prepared for these events will enable the City to tailor its response plans and allocate resources where they will be needed most to ensure community safety.
Take the online survey now via .
Community members who take the survey can go into the draw to win a first aid kit.
Deadline to have your say is 9:00am on Monday 2 September 2024.
Definitions
An emergency is an actual or imminent event that endangers or threatens lives, property or the environment and requires immediate action be undertaken to reduce the danger and risk.
A disaster is a sudden accident or a natural catastrophe that causes serious disruptions to the functioning of a community that exceeds its capacity to cope using its own resources.
