How do we prepare for emergencies?

Loyalist Township is doing its part to prepare for potential emergencies.

The Emergency Plan for Loyalist Township has been developed to reflect the public safety requirements of our community. The effective use and maintenance of this plan are reliant upon all concerned being aware of its provisions and prepared to fulfill their roles and responsibilities in the event of an emergency. Responsible individuals are expected to participate in emergency training and exercises which will assist them in the fulfillment of their
roles accordingly.

We have an Emergency Control Group that can be activated in the event of an emergency, to manage the emergency and also to keep residents informed. The Control Group also cooperates with emergency services from the County of Lennox and Addington and Emergency Management Ontario.

How can you prepare for emergencies?

Make a plan

In an emergency, your family may not be together, or you may be asked to evacuate your home. Thinking about what you would do in different situations and preparing a plan with every member of your family is the first step to being prepared.

Build a kit

Your emergency survival kit should have everything you and your family would need to be safe and take care of yourselves for at least three days immediately following an emergency.

Be informed

Sign up for CodeRED alerts from Loyalist Township so we can communicate with you quickly and efficiently in an emergency.

The Province of Ontario's Emergency Alerts system shares crucial information quickly, to a maximum number of people. If you hear the emergency alert on your smartphone, stop, listen, and respond to the information it shares.
