Being prepared is the best way to protect yourself and your family during an emergency. The Ramara Emergency Management Committee meets regularly to keep the Township prepared and to keep residents well informed in the event of an emergency. Check this page often for up to date information on how to prepare yourself for a variety of events during each season of the year.

What is Happening Now?

Spring has arrived! Along with grass fire and flooding season. 

When considering the option of having a small fire to rid your property of the vegetation overburden from the previous year please also be mindful of your neighbours. Ramara Fire & Rescue Services does allow for open air burning as long as it is in a safe location, with a responsible person present at all times, a form of extinguishment on hand and readily available and that there is no negative impact on your neighbours. Check the current fire rating prior to burning. 

Prior to the drying of all dead standing vegetation is the spring freshet. As rapid thawing takes place our waterways can be overburdened, which in turn can lead to some localized flooding. So far, the freeze thaw cycle has been cooperating and allowing water to move through the system. However, if you live in an area that is prone to flooding, now is a great time to be proactive and have a plan in place.
