West Hants Regional Municipality's Emergency Management Office (EMO) will host a minimum of three in-person education and awareness events a year (January - May - September). 

These events are meant to be interactive (to some degree) and to help you:

  • learn of potential risks & hazards in your area (and surrounding areas)
  • how to prepare for an emergency
  • what to do in an emergency, and
  • recovery tips.

Aside from these in-person sessions, you will find a lot of helpful information by clicking on any of the button icons at https://www.westhants.ca/emo .  And/or, you may reach out to our Emergency Management Coordinator at This email address is being protected from spambots.
