In Ontario, an "emergency" is defined as:
"A situation or impending situation that constitutes a danger of major proportions that could result in serious harm to persons or substantial damage to property and that is caused by the forces of nature, a disease or other health risk, an accident or an act whether intentional or otherwise".
Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, 2006
Emergencies do happen…
Emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere. By preparing for emergencies, individuals and communities can reduce the impact emergencies have on our lives and property.
In Waterloo Region, we are fortunate to have municipal and regional governments who work together to coordinate emergency response plans specific to our area.
 Tune In!
In the event of an emergency, it is critical that everyone who is affected gets timely and accurate information. In an emergency, tune into local stations for up-to-the-minute information on the situation. (Click on the radio to get a list of local media outlets)
