Pandemics

We have all experienced a time in our life when we have really not felt well.  To protect ourselves or our family from getting sick again we regularly take precautions.  Keeping our hands clean is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of germs; however there are other times when extra measures need to be taken. 

Although Emergency staff and other personnel within the municipality have taken time to address the required actions needed during a pandemic; we rely heavily and wait from direction from organizations specializing in Public Health before proceeding with an emergency response.  If you have concerns with respect to the spread of infectious disease it is suggested that you browse the following sites for answers and updates.
