S-2.4 - Act respecting civil protection to promote disaster resilience
Section 6
Disposition versions
6. Local municipalities are the primary authorities responsible for the protection of persons and property in their territory as regards civil protection.
To that end, a regional municipality and the local municipalities in its territory must act in concert and collaborate in order to plan and put in place, in their territory, measures to assess disaster risks and to prevent disasters and prepare the response to them, with a view to promoting their community’s disaster resilience. They must promote the participation of their citizens in civil protection, in particular by consulting them and informing them of those measures and of the measures the citizens can take to reduce disaster risks and limit the consequences of disasters.
