As part of the Town of Kindersley's commitment to the safety and well-being of its residents, the Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) Emergency Response Plan was created to assess the potential hazards that are most likely to impact the community or region at large. This plan is modified on an ongoing basis to ensure the most up to date resources and agencies are actively involved in the implementation of the plan should an emergency arise.

According to the Emergency Response Plan, the Town of Kindersley has experienced or is most likely to experience the following emergencies: Tornado/Windstorm Snow/Ice Chemical spill or Dangerous Goods accident on the highway or railway Long-term Power Failure Pandemic/Epidemic occurrence Fire - wild fire/structural/explosion The chemical spill or dangerous goods accident involving an evacuation of all or a portion of the Town was deemed to have the greatest overall impact on the community and surrounding area.

 
The Emergency Response Plan involves consultation between the Town of Kindersley, RM of Kindersley, emergency response agencies (i.e. RCMP, EMS, Kindersley Fire and Rescue Brigade), Heartland Health Region, crisis and emergency support agencies, and several other important partners. Surrounding communities committed to providing mutual aid in the case of a major incident or emergency are also consulted on an ongoing basis as the plan is updated and modified.

The Town of Kindersley contracts an EMO Coordinator to facilitate the plan and act as liaison between all the partners and agencies involved. For more information about the plan, contact Kathleen Henderson, EMO Coordinator, at .
