The Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (2006) requires every Ontario municipality and provincial ministry to implement an emergency management program. The Township of Mapleton, in partnership with Wellington County, is committed to meeting this mandate and providing emergency services that keep our community healthy and safe. For this reason, we have developed an Emergency Response Plan. This document governs the provision of necessary services during an emergency and the procedures in which employees of the municipality and other persons will respond to the emergency. We also maintain a group of emergency management personnel including first responders, planners, administrators and support staff to identify and respond to various emergencies within the community.
