THE ROLE OF HASTINGS COUNTY IN AN EMERGENCY
NON-EMERGENCY SUPPORT AND ACTIVITIES
Hastings County supports its member municipalities and the separated cities prior to an emergency by participating with them and supporting them in exercises, training, public education / awareness initiatives. The County is also required to conduct its own training and exercises for the Municipal Emergency Control Group (MECG) as well as developing and delivering public education and awareness information.
EMERGENCY SUPPORT AND ACTIVITIES
In the event of a single municipality activating their emergency plan, Hastings County provides support by sending representation from Hastings- Quinte Paramedic Services and Community and Human Services as part of municipal emergency plans. In the event of a large scale, multiple municipal emergency situations, Hastings County will activate its MECG to provide assistance and support by coordinating resources, liaising with provincial and federal partners through the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre (PEOC), non-governmental stakeholders and providing County services to the municipalities as requested, such as paramedic services and emergency social services.
