New emergency system might be coming to the County of Grande Prairie
The non-profit group Mutual Aid Alberta is hoping to bring a new way of dealing with emergencies to the County of Grande Prairie.
Chair Shell Clark says the project is called the Emergency Response Portal.
“It’s a centralized database that has emergency response contact information. We collect resident information for oil and gas companies, we collect service companies who are able to respond in emergencies, equipment suppliers, volunteers and response organizations, things like that.”
He adds all of this is then fed into a computerized mapping system.
