Disaster management at the ready in Regina

The city of Regina (Canada) is well prepared for many types of disasters and emergencies, including wildfires, major storms, floods, chemical spills or earthquakes.

The Plan is a coordinated strategy working with other levels of government, local media, industry, and all local and national police services. These partners meet regularly to fine-tune and practice the plan.

Importantly, the plan provides guidelines for recovery after an emergency. For more information, please visit www.regina.ca/content/info_services/emergency_services/planning_program.shtml.
