Disaster Management
Sturgeon County has an Emergency Operations Plan in place to ensure the safety of our residents and to initiate a timely and efficient response to a disaster or emergency. County staff regularly participate in emergency simulation exercises with other local municipalities to establish a level of emergency readiness.
If a major disaster or emergency strikes, affected residents will be notified by various communication vehicles, and possibly through the Emergency Broadcast System depending on the severity of the situation.
There is no provincial or federal disaster relief available if you sustain any insurable losses.
Community Awareness Emergency Response
The Northeast Region Community Awareness Emergency Response (NR CAER) created the UPDATEline and Call-out System. Sturgeon County is a member of NR CAER
UPDATEline
The UPDATEline can be called toll-free at 1-866-653-9959 and is designed for residents to call on the status of current industrial site activities they are curious about.
Call-out System
The automated call-out notification system allows industry and municipal members of Northeast Region CAER to notify residents of a more serious incident in their immediate vicinity.
We encourage residents, especially those living in the Fort Saskatchewan area, to verify their contact numbers and addresses to improve the accuracy of the Call-out System.
Help us reach you in case of a serious incident, by confirming your contact information at the NR CAER website.
