Overview The City of Pickering has established a formal Community Emergency Management Program to deal with major emergencies or crises. The Program applies to a range of community events that could affect a significant part of the city and its population. It is designed to effectively manage resources that are used to handle events like ice storms, tornados, floods, acts of terrorism, large fires, hazardous materials incidents, etc. The Program also covers nuclear emergencies, during which the City would assist the Province of Ontario and the Region of Durham in providing public safety services.
