The"Get Prepared" campaign encourages Canadians to be prepared to cope on their own for at least the first 72 hours of an emergency, enabling first responders to focus on those in urgent need.
Emergencies can and do happen, often without warning. The City of Belleville has a community Emergency Plan in place for the coordination and implementation of all required services in the event of a natural or man-made emergency. The Emergency Plan will also be implemented in situations where resources are called upon to assist other municipalities in need of emergency assistance.
