The Municipality of McDougall continues to prepare for any emergencies we believe may occur. Our planning team consists of the Fire Chief, Public Works Superintendant, CAO and Council. In McDougall, we do not use an all hazards approach to our planning, but rather we have examined past historical emergencies which have occurred in our area and have built our Emergency Response Plan around these incidents. This is called a Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment approach to emergency planning.
