This is a voluntary registry that will provide the Municipality of Gordon/Barrie Island with a list of those peoples who are at greater risk than others during an emergency or crisis. It is a beneficial service that empowers the municipality to service those who might be in greater need during a disaster, power outage or extreme weather event. This information is private and will not be shared with any other organization. The purpose of this registry is to help Gordon/Barrie Island reach out to those residents who are in more danger than others. Examples are those who might be dependent on electrical power for medical equipment who do not have a back-up generator, or those who have grave mobility issues. In the case of wildland fire or a prolonged ice storm, these people will be contacted first by the municipal emergency control group (MECG). The focus is to help those with greater needs than others.
