Emergency Management Program

The Municipality of Roblin doesn’t wait for emergencies to happen—we plan for them. Backed by a formal Emergency Plan and real-world hazard assessments, Roblin’s Emergency Management Program is designed to respond quickly and effectively when the unexpected hits.

 

Who Runs It

The program is led by the Municipal Emergency Coordinator (MEC), with support from municipal staff and Protective Services. When a serious incident occurs, the MEC activates the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) and oversees coordination between responders, agencies, and support teams.

 

24 Volunteers. One Mission

Roblin is backed by 24 trained local volunteers—each ready to step into assigned roles when the EOC is activated. These aren’t ceremonial positions. They’re people trained in:

  • Emergency Operations Centre roles: logistics, planning, communications, and finance

  • Reception and evacuation support

  • Emergency Social Services (ESS): lodging, food, registration, and citizen support

  • Documentation and reporting for Disaster Financial Assistance

  • On-the-ground response tasks when called upon

This team is one of the most valuable assets in our emergency program—and they’re ready to go at a moment’s notice.

 

Emergency Operations Centre

When the scope of an emergency exceeds routine response, the Municipality activates its Emergency Operations Centre—the central command hub where coordination, decision-making, and support efforts happen.

  • Primary EOC: Roblin Municipal Office (Council Chambers)

  • Secondary EOC: Roblin Fire Hall

The EOC operates under the Incident Command System (ICS) and scales as needed depending on the nature of the emergency.

 

When the Plan Activates

Roblin’s Emergency Plan covers:

  • EOC activation and coordination

  • Issuing evacuations or shelter-in-place orders

  • Deploying Emergency Social Services (ESS)

  • Coordinating public alerts and media

  • Preparing financial claims for Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA)

 

Your Role as a Resident

Municipal readiness is only half the equation. Every household in Roblin should have:

  • A 72-hour emergency kit

  • A basic evacuation plan

  • A way to receive alerts and instructions

Prepared communities recover faster—and in Roblin, we expect people to take that seriously.
