In accordance with the Civil Protection Act (RLRQ, c. S‑2.3), local municipalities are responsible for civil security on their territories. While the Municipalities of L’Isle-aux-Allumettes, Sheenboro, and Chichester have adopted a joint emergency plan to share resources, the Municipality of Waltham operates as a distinct entity with its own dedicated alert system.
Regardless of the municipality, all measures and guidelines currently in place are fully compliant with provincial regulations regarding alert systems and rescue mobilization.
