Emergency management is about saving lives, protecting sensitive natural areas, protecting property and businesses, and fostering resilient communities. 

The District's Emergency Planning Program

In accordance with the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, the District's Emergency Plan is reviewed, tested, and revised annually.  Our Emergency planning program also includes:

  • Business continuity planning
  • Annual training and exercises 
  • Public education to promote emergency preparedness

The District's emergency management program collaborates with other emergency service providers and local Area Municipalities to protect the health and safety of residents and visitors to Muskoka in times of emergency.

Emergency Response

Municipalities routinely respond to emergencies through the first response of:

  • Police Services
  • Fire Services
  • Paramedic Services

Larger scale emergencies, such as a tornado or flood, may require mutual assistance from additional personnel from local area and neighbouring municipalities,  recovery agencies, contractors,  utility companies, etc.

The role of the District is to provide the organizational and operational framework to coordinate emergency response, reduce further impact on the community and what is required to recover from the emergency.
