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, so that residents have an up-to-date information source. A municipal phone number may also be posted here in the event of an emergency. Alternatively, tune in to a local radio station for emergency updates.

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 making a 72 hour kit.

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 yourself 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.

For more information on emergency preparedness, and what to do during and after an emergency, check out this brochure, or pick one up at the County office.
