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.
