The Municipal Emergency Control Group usually includes leading community officials, emergency management representatives and other relevant staff.

All emergency response will be directed and controlled by a group of officials who will be responsible for coordinating the provision of essential services needed to minimize the effects of the emergency on the municipality. This group of officials will be known as the Municipal Emergency Control Group and will be made up of the following:

  • Head of Council
  • Clerk-Treasurer
  • Public Work Foremen
  • Fire Chief
  • Emergency Information Officer
  • Community Emergency Management Coordinator

 

The MECG may function with only a limited number of members depending upon the emergency situation. However, all members of the MECG shall be notified of the emergency and its consequences.
