Ontario announced a $10 million investment to strengthen its emergency response capabilities. This funding aims to ensure communities are better equipped for local emergencies, providing resources like debris removal tools, flood barriers, food services, and drones. The announcement follows severe incidents such as an ice storm that left hundreds of thousands without power and record-setting wildfires. Minister Jill Dunlop highlighted the government's commitment to protect against various threats and outlined collaboration with 13 local partners to boost community emergency responses.
"The government is protecting Ontario from all threats, from wildland fires to flooding, ice storms or whatever else may come our way," said Jill Dunlop at a news conference.
The money will ensure communities are better prepared to respond to local emergencies and have resources, such as debris removal tools, machinery, flood barriers, food services, and drones.
