WHERE DO I GET INFORMATION DURING AN EMERGENCY?
During emergencies, the Town of BWG posts information on Facebook, and shares it with local media including radio stations Rock 95 and 107.5 Kool FM. During a serious emergency in which extra support services are required (such as evacuation centres or water stations), the Town partners with the 2-1-1 telephone information service to answer calls.
At ANY time, residents can dial 2-1-1 to speak to a real person who can provide advice on community services available to you.
