Emergency Preparedness
Preparing for an emergency is important, and something everyone should do. By taking a few simple steps, you can become better prepared to face a range of emergencies and minimize the impact on yourself and your family.
| Smoke Alarm Inspection Sign-up |
|
Throughout the Spring & Summer, our Emergency Services Department will be going around to homes in Greater Napanee to check smoke alarms in the home. Sign up online to have your smoke alarms inspected and you will be entered into a draw for a $50.00 gift card to a local business, donated by Tracey Moffat at L&A Mutual Insurance. Draws will occur at the end of each month between May-September. Those who sign up to have their smoke alarms inspected will be automatically entered into the draw. For more information, please contact Erin Tyers at 613-354-4289 ext. 2223. **Please note that when our Emergency Services Department arrives for an inspection, they will be in uniform and will be driving a clearly marked emergency services vehicle.** |
| Greater Napanee's Emergency Response Plan | ||||||||
We have a community Emergency Response Plan in place for the coordination and implementation of all required services in the event of an emergency. The Emergency Response Plan will also be implemented in situations where resources are called upon to assist other municipalities in need of emergency assistance.

| Make an Emergency Preparedness Action Plan for your Household | ||||||||
|
Every household needs an emergency plan. It will help you and your families know what to do if disaster strikes. We should all practice what to do in different emergency situations. Please view the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services for information on an Emergency Preparedness Action Plan. |

| Get a 72-Hour Emergency Kit | ||||||||
|
Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours in an emergency. During an emergency, we may need to get by without power or tap water. We will all need some basic supplies. Please take a look at what to put in your 72 Hour Emergency Kit:

| Be Informed |
|
Be Informed During an emergency, you should stay tuned to local news channels, radio, Greater Napanee’s social media feeds and www.greaternapanee.com. Sign up for Ontario’s emergency alerts! Red Alerts and Emergency Advisories quickly deliver information on threats or emergencies that have occurred via email or text message, and include information on how to keep you and your family safe! Emergency Alerts will automatically notify on radio, television and cell phone devices for events like natural disasters, extreme weather and terrorist attacks. When these messages are sent they are urgent, life-threatening, and the requirement for you is to take action!
