Emergencies and disasters can occur anytime, anywhere. Some are seasonal, like blizzards and rain storms, allowing you to prepare in advance. Others, like tornadoes and wild fires, occur swiftly and without warning.
When emergencies happen in Brazeau County, information will be posted here. The County's Emergency Preparedness Program will take effect immediately.
Wildfire season officially starts March 1 and runs until October 31 each year.
As the wildfire situation in Alberta continues to evolve, residents are encouraged to assess their properties and implement FireSmart techniques to help protect their homes in the event of a wildfire. Residents should also be prepared in case they need to evacuate from their homes.
Individuals and families should be prepared to take care of themselves for at least 72 hours. In some situations you may be displaced for several weeks.
During an emergency, it is important to know where to find information related to the emergency in your area.
