Emergency Management Services

Director of Emergency Management: Julian Veuger
Deputy Director of Emergency Management: Marc Fortais

Every community must develop an emergency management plan to prepare and respond to any major crisis. The Town of Bentley Municipal Emergency Management Plan recognizes that an emergency or disaster of a jurisdictional nature could affect more than one municipality in our area, which is why the Town is one of eleven members of the Lacombe Regional Emergency Management Partnership. Other members include the Village of Alix, Village of Clive, Town of Eckville, Town of Blackfalds, City of Lacombe, Lacombe County, SV of Gull Lake, SV of Birchcliff, SV of Sunbreaker Cove, and the SV of Half Moon Bay.
