Emergency Preparedness

Tay Valley Township maintains a disciplined group of emergency management personnel including first responders, plan administrators and support staff to identify and respond to various emergencies within the community. Operational and political protocols require partnerships with our neighbouring communities, and these service providers are critical components of the process. Members of the public generally identify emergency response with police, fire and ambulance services. However, emergency management and preparedness plays a vital role in coordinating the response and recovery efforts on behalf of our community.

Tay Valley Township works towards the mitigation, planning and training for emergencies through its Community Emergency Management Program Committee (EMPC) and Community Control Group (CCG). Part of the EMPC's mandate is to educate the public on preparedness, coordinate emergency response and recovery efforts, collect and distribute critical information as well as research funding opportunities to support preparedness for the community.

The cooperation and participation of citizens and volunteers collectively contributes to the excellent quality of life that we enjoy through our ability to effectively respond to the needs of the people who live, work, play, and learn within our boundaries.
