Emergency Management Organization (EMO)

The Council of the Region of Queens Municipality has established an emergency planning group in order to provide a prompt and coordinated response to emergencies throughout Queens County.  The emergency service providers include fire, police, ambulance, health, municipal, Transportation, Community Services, Natural Resources, Ground Search and Rescue, and communications.

The Emergency Management Organization of Nova Scotia is also available to assist in the case of an emergency in Queens.  Check out the EMO Nova Scotia website for information on "preparedness at home" at http://www.gov.ns.ca/emo .
