Emergency Preparedness Partners

Halton's emergency management efforts are supported and sustained by our emergency response partners. In Halton, partners assume a coordinated approach to the planning and management of emergencies. Halton Region, the Halton Regional Police Service, the City of Burlington, and the Towns of Halton Hills, Milton, and Oakville work together to address emergency management issues with the objective of maximizing resources and efficiencies towards establishing a disaster resilient community.

Halton Region's Emergency Management Program also includes working in partnership with numerous public, private and volunteer sector agencies.

Through joint planning activities, including training and exercises, Halton builds relationships with local industry, volunteer groups, and emergency service organizations that enhance our emergency response and recovery capabilities. The contribution of our emergency response partners helps make Halton Region a disaster resilient community.
