The Police and Fire Departments provide the primary safety functions in Ontario.
The City is committed to protecting life, property and commerce from impacts associated with man-made and natural hazards, disasters and other threats to public safety. Natural hazards that could impact Ontario include seismic, flood, fire, and wind. Man-made hazards include hazardous materials, noise and crime. A clear management framework for emergency services for law enforcement and fire and rescue services is essential to adequately plan for and respond to these hazards.
Purpose
The Safety Element:
- Identifies potential hazards.
- Provides policies that minimize potential dangers to residents, businesses, workers and visitors.
- Provides policies to reduce the level of property loss due to a potential disaster.
- Provides guidance on the approach to emergency management.
|
Principles
We believe:
- It is the role of government to minimize exposure to natural and man-made hazards.
- A safe environment is necessary to build and maintain a sustainable and prosperous Ontario.
- Reduction in the loss of life, injury, private property damage, infrastructure damage, economic losses and social dislocation can be achieved through planning and preparedness.
- Interdepartmental and inter-jurisdictional coordination and collaboration are necessary to be prepared for, respond to and recover from everyday and disaster emergencies.
