Leduc’s Emergency Management Bylaw directs the City’s emergency operations response under the Emergency Management Act.
This bylaw establishes the City’s Emergency Advisory Committee and the Leduc Emergency Management Agency (LEMA). The Fire Chief fills the role of Director of Emergency Management.
Disasters and emergencies can take the form of severe weather events (tornadoes, extreme cold, severe storms, etc.), water contamination, hazardous chemical exposure, pandemics, wildfires, and floods.
When lives are in immediate or imminent danger, the City of Leduc will send an alert through the Alberta Emergency Alert System, describing the threat and the action required. Further updates or information on less urgent situations will be provided on the City’s website and social media channels.
If you need support after an emergency or are looking to assist others, the City’s Family and Community Support Services team provides resources to help you get back on your feet.
While the City is preparing for emergencies that impact our community, there are several things residents can do to help prepare themselves and their families.
Every household should have an emergency kit. This kit should be properly labelled and packed with items for at least 72 hours.
