Emergency Preparedness

There is an ever more pressing priority to ensure we have efficient and effective coordination and provision of emergency services. Over the past several years, the province has had to deal with large scale events such as the Stephenville flood of 2005 and more recently, the northeast coast flood of 2008. While the province has demonstrated that they can respond effectively and immediately to these emergency situations, it is still important that we provide the people with a means of preparing themselves in the event of a future disaster or emergency. We hope that the following resources and links may help you and your family prepare for any situation that may arise in Newfoundland and Labrador. Emergency preparedness starts with the individual.
