Emergency Management Services
The Village of Breton Emergency Management Department is comprised of a Director who engages the services and skills of other employees, businesses and government departments as required.
A disaster is considered an event that may result in serious harm to the safety, health and welfare of people or property. Emergency Management is responsible for developing and maintaining the municipal emergency plan, providing emergency management training and ensuring that the Village can continue with critical services and programs during and following a disaster.
It is important to understand that instructions on what action the public is to take will only ever come directly from town officials by means of:
1. The Alberta Emergency Alert
2. The Village of Breton Website Page
3. The Village of Breton Facebook Page
Furthermore, it is also important that Village residents be prepared for a disaster that may affect them by having food and shelter for at least 72 hours. Information on preparedness and "72 hour kits” can be found at:
