MESSAGE FROM THE WARDEN
Thank you for taking the time to review the important information in this Emergency Preparedness Guide. Community resilience begins with each of us, and Hastings County is committed to helping residents plan ahead and stay safe during any emergency. The Hastings County Municipal Emergency Control Group (MECG) is a dedicated team of professionals that supports emergency response efforts across our 14 member municipalities and two separated cities. During large‑scale emergencies, the MECG coordinates essential services, supports emergency responders, coordinates emergency social services, and works closely with partner agencies to ensure municipalities receive the assistance they need. Preparedness starts at home. Every resident has a responsibility to plan ahead so that you and your family can remain self‑sufficient during an emergency. Being ready allows emergency services to focus first on the most urgent needs. In addition to preparing your emergency kits, we encourage you to connect with your neighbours and explore how you can support one another before, during, and after an emergency. When each of us takes part in emergency readiness, we strengthen our entire community. While a disaster may disrupt our daily lives, it does not have to diminish the quality of life we value here in Hastings County.
