Department of Emergency Management

The Department of Emergency Management is responsible for coordinating disaster and emergency planning, preparedness, responses and recovery activities. We help make sure that Nova Scotians are safe and prepared during emergencies and disasters. We also provide timely emergency alerts and information.

The department coordinates partners and resources during province-wide and large-scale emergencies. We also support municipalities, local emergency management organizations and communities.

We're also responsible for the Office of the Fire Marshal.
