Emergency "Be Prepared" Pamphlet ( Send current webpage to printerPrint )

TOWN OF INGERSOLL
Town of Ingersoll
“BE PREPARED”
PAMPHLET

Emergencies and disasters can happen at any time. Utilities can be out, roads closed and crucial supplies unavailable. While local, provincial and federal officials prepare for emergencies, individuals can plan to be prepared at home and at work.

The Town of Ingersoll has completed a “Community Risk Profile” where winter and summer storms, heat alerts, fire/explosions, hazardous materials, transportation incidents and energy emergencies have been identified as priority hazards and risks for the community. The following pamphlet is to provide residents and businesses with information to prepare for, respond to and recover from any of the potential risks.

A recommended guideline to assist you in preparing an Emergency Survival Kit is included in this pamphlet. Keep these items in a waterproof container and make sure everyone in your family knows where this Emergency Survival kit is stored.
MEDIA


The media centre will be the site of news conferences and briefings. Briefings are usually conducted by the community spokesperson and coordinated by the emergency information officer and are used to provide current information on the emergency. Briefings are held whenever there is new information to report or to bring newly arriving, media up-to date on the situation. To keep your family abreast of the situation you can turn your radio or T.V. to one of the stations listed below:
  • Heart FM 104.7 Woodstock/CIHR
  • Easy 101.3 Tillsonburg/CKOT
  • 103.9 The Hawk/CKDK
  • CFPL Radio/TV/London
  • CIQM – Easy Listening Q97.5
  • CJBK – 1290 AM
