READ: Red Deer among eight municipalities considering Regional Emergency Management Partnership

These changes led to the creation of the Red Deer Regional Emergency Management Partnership and the proposal of a new Agreement for the membership. The partnership will require all participating local authorities to pass their own bylaw amendments and endorse the Agreement.

In such a partnership, the agreement states all costs and expenses associated with responding to an incident would be the responsibility of the municipality where the incident occurred, including applying for disaster financial assistance and recovery funding. Local authorities responding outside of their jurisdiction would be able to seek cost recovery reimbursement from the requesting municipality.

Municipalities would retain decision making authority for their respective municipalities and would be responsible for declaring a state of emergency if they wish.
