The Township of Wilmot Emergency Response Plan establishes the framework for a systematic, coordinated and effective emergency response. The Emergency Plan details the methods in which the Township mobilizes its resources during a crisis and ensures all Township organizations, emergency response services and key agencies are fully aware of their respective roles and responsibilities during an emergency. The goal is to respond and reduce the impact of a public emergency and restore the municipality to a normal state as soon as possible.
