Emergency Preparedness

Emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere. Severe weather such as floods, tornadoes, ice storms, and accidents such as chemical spills can strike any community.

The City of Oshawa, as well as your regional, provincial and federal governments are prepared to respond during emergencies, but only you can prepare yourself and your household.

Review the City's Emergency Master Plan.

Information on how to develop an emergency kit and family emergency plan is at your fingertips. Take the time now to ensure you are prepared later, regardless of what type of emergency may occur.

Be sure to consider any special accommodations that may need to be made for family pets, and/or yourself or a loved one with a disability.

We recommend bookmarking our emergency communications and subscribing to emergency alerts so you can quickly access updates from governing authorities should an emergency situation arise.
