Emergency Management co-ordinator Carla McCracken says it’s about building a community understanding of the types of incidents that can occur.
Hamilton’s emergency plan has been activated 11 times since 2005.
McCracken notes that we experience everything from flooding, ice storms and power outages, to hazardous materials incidents.
