Emergency Management

Emergency Preparedness Week is May 7 - 13, 2023. Are you and your family prepared in case of emergency?

Collingwood, like every municipality, regardless of size and location, can be seriously disrupted by an emergency. This could take the form of a severe storm, flood, fire, chemical spill or similar disaster.

All capable adults are responsible to be prepared for unforeseen emergencies. While nobody can predict an emergency, it is important to plan for a variety of possibilities. Your personal plan can make a significant difference to you and your family's well-being. Emergencies can and do occur without warning.

The resources on this page have been assembled to help you get prepared.

We are happy to provide alternate formats or communication support, on request, for all the resources provided on this page, to ensure that everyone in our community is fully prepared in an emergency.  You can contact us at 705-445-3920.
