Emergency Preparedness Week (May 4-10, 2025)
The Municipality of the District of St. Mary’s is participating in Emergency Preparedness Week (May 4-10) in collaboration with the Department of Emergency Management.
Nova Scotia Guard:
Nova Scotia Guard volunteers can help support emergency response efforts across the province. They’re ready to lend a hand when help is needed most. The Guard brings together people with all kinds of skills and connects them with those who need help before, during and after an emergency. They allow first responders to focus their efforts on the search, while the Guard members provide support, like food distribution, overnight protection of equipment and parking and directions assistance for first responders, in a very managed approach.
