FORWARD
The combined Municipal Emergency Plan (Revision 0) for the Township of Bruce, the
Township of Kincardine, and the Village of Tiverton forms Schedule "A" to Bruce Township
By-Law No. 95-7 , Kincardine Township By-Law No. 95-08 , and Village of Tiverton
By-Law No. 1995-2 - "A by-law formulating a plan for protecting property and the
health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants in any emergency area".
The Plan has been prepared to provide key officials, agencies and departments within Bruce
Township, Kincardine Township, the Village of Tiverton, the Bruce Nuclear Power
Development, and Bruce County, with a general guideline to the expected initial response to
an emergency, and an overview of their responsibilities during an emergency,
Any emergency situation is unique, so that it is not possible to precisely define the actions
required by any local, County, or Provincial agency who may be involved in emergency
response. It is important, then, that the elements of this Plan be implemented with common
sense recognizing the situation at hand and the capabilities of those agencies involved.
For this Plan to be effective it is important that all concerned be made aware of its provisions
and that every official, agency and department be prepared to carry out their assigned
functions and responsibilities to the best of their ability in an emergency.
This Plan is introduced into law under the authority of the Emergency Plans Act, 1983.
