Emergency Services and Preparedness

Huron East is committed to keeping you safe in the event of an emergency! 

Emergency Services for Huron East are provided by Huron County OPP, Huron County Paramedic Services and the Huron East Fire Department.  Huron East also provides Emergency Management Planning and Preparedness in conjunction with the County of Huron.

The Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA), R.S.O. 1990 requires all municipalities in Ontario to develop, implement and maintain an emergency management program. The Ontario Regulation 380/04 sets out the Ministry and Municipal Standards. These standards include designating an Emergency Management Program Coordinator and an Emergency Information Officer.  Every municipality is to have a program committee, a Control Group with an established Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) and an Emergency Response Plan.

The Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management Ontario monitors us annually to ensure our compliance to the legislation set out by the Province of Ontario under the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.
