Midhurst/May 2, 2022 – The County of Simcoe is reminding residents about the importance of preparing themselves and their families for a wide-range of potential emergency situations by once again observing Emergency Preparedness (EP) Week from May 1 to 7, 2022. EP Week is a federal-provincial-municipal initiative to promote emergency preparedness across Canada.
