Emergencies often strike quickly and can happen at any time. It is important to BE PREPARED now to keep you and your family safe in the event of an emergency.
New Brunswick’s Emergency Measures Act stipulates that each municipality must be prepared to handle emergencies. The Village of New Maryland has acted on this responsibility to prepare the community to respond to and recover from disastrous events with the establishment of the Emergency Response Plan Committee (ERPC)
The Village of New Maryland has a detailed Emergency Response Plan and an Emergency Operations Centre (normally functioning as the Council Chamber) which is located at the Village Office, 584 New Maryland Highway.
Village of New Maryland’s Procedural By-law No. 50-2021
