In such a scenario, they say the impacted municipalities are often competing against one another for the same resources as local supplies may not be sufficient. However, through a regional agreement approach, officials say municipalities can work together to establish shared priorities and deploy resources regionally in a coordinated effort to ensure public safety and may be eligible for increased governmental funding opportunities.

Officials confirm the City of Red Deer’s emergency program would operate independently with a supporting agreement outlining the terms and conditions for any regional emergency management initiative or response.

They say each municipality would be responsible for declaring their own State of Local Emergency when they are “satisfied that an emergency exists or may exist in its municipality”. If one municipality makes the declaration, the other partnering municipalities do not also have to make the same declaration, unless applicable.
