Emergency Management and Preparedness

Build an Emergency Survival Kit

Your emergency survival kit should have everything you and your family would need to be safe and take care of yourselves for at least three days immediately following an emergency.

In Brockton the Fire Chief is responsible for delivering fire protection and also holds the role of Community Emergency Management Coordinator (CEMC).

In this section you can find more information about our Emergency Preparedness and Management Programs.

Emergency Management

Brockton's Emergency Management is overseen by the Community Emergency Management Coordinator (CEMC) and Emergency Measures Committee.

In 2005 and 2006 the Brockton Emergency Response Plan was developed. The Brockton Emergency Response Plan was amended on December 17, 2019 by By-Law 2019-162. This document outlines plans of action in case of emergency in a number of areas and is reviewed annually.
