"Our strength lies in the local knowledge of our communities, combined with training to plan and respond during times of emergency.  By pooling and coordinating resources that already exist in our area, we can more effectively support our communities during emergencies."

MEETINGS

Meetings are held 7 PM on the last Monday of each month upstairs in the Middle Musquodoboit Fire Station.

COMMUNITY STATUS REPORTERS

We have many communities located in the Middle Musquodoboit Valley area and CSRs during a community-wide emergency or crisis, that can advise the MV-JEM team of the status in their area (road conditions, power outages, flooding, etc) and of any needs or particular concerns within their home community.  These people are residents of the Musquodoboit Valley area who are volunteering their time and information to help communicate needs in times of crisis.

WHAT CAN MV JEM DO FOR YOU

• Assist with your own preparedness planning
• Connect to resources outside your community
• Facilitate faster and better emergency response

• Coordinated response with agencies and other communities

MV JEM NEEDS:
