Emergency Services Building
The Emergency Services Building is a new County building being used by the Vulcan Fire Department, Community Peace Officers, and ambulance services (Alberta Health Services). An RCMP wing is being constructed and will be on the north end of the building. The building is a hub for regional emergency services.
Emergency Management
Vulcan County staff will endeavour to keep this site updated in the event of an emergency, as a source of information for residents. A specific phone number will be posted here if electricity is down and the Emergency Operations Centre is activated. Alternatively, tune in to a local radio station.

Emergency Preparedness
Natural disasters such as blizzards, fires, tornadoes and floods can strike at any time, anywhere. Some allow time to prepare; others occur swiftly and with little or no warning.
Communications, transportation, utilities, and other essential services could be disrupted, forcing you to rely initially on your own resources for food, water, first aid, transportation, and shelter.
Emergency Canada guidelines suggest we should always be prepared to look after our own needs, as well as the needs of our family, for at least three days. Check out this guide to 72 hour kits.
We can lessen the impact of any emergency or disaster by knowing what to do before, during and after an emergency, and by having our emergency kits ready.
Don't be caught off guard. Prepare you and your family by following these guidelines:
- Develop a household emergency plan. - Post a list of emergency numbers and addresses by your telephone. - Prepare an emergency survival kit in an easy-to-carry, waterproof container. - Keep a small survival kit in your vehicle.
