Emergency measures and self-sufficiency
Although the City of Beaconsfield has done its best to guarantee the safety and security of its citizens, there is always the possibility that something along the lines of the Ice Storm of 1998 might recur. Under such circumstances the City would be unable to shelter and feed its entire population of more than 20 000 residents and it would fall on individual citizens to be self-sufficient until such time as the respective authorities geared up on a large scale to provide the necessary help and support.
Please consult the presentation on Civil Protection in Montreal - September 28, 2015
Self-sufficiency kit
We ask that each family prepare for emergency by putting together a 3 to 6 day self-sufficient kit that is easily accessible and ready for use on short notice.
You will need the following items in your kit, all of which should be rotated with new stock regularly.

Manual can opener
Drinking water. Minimum of one gallon per person per day, which can include juices or soft drinks
Light sources (flashlights, candles, lanterns etc.)

Communications in a Crisis
The City will attempt to provide as much information as possible during an emergency. News releases will be posted at municipal buildings and communicated to television and radio stations. Information would be delivered to all homes if needed. If you are leaving home, make sure that your neighbour or the municipality knows how to reach you. If you have identified yourself as a resident requiring assistance in case of emergency, it is essential to let the City know when you decide not to remain in your home.
Volunteers
An undertaking of this magnitude requires many volunteers. If you are interested in having your name added to the volunteer list, please call 514 428-4410.
You can help in registration, meals maintenance, general help, as a driver, for child care, entertainment, etc. Volunteers with special skills (medical, technical) or civil defence experience would also be needed.

Natural disaster: Your pet in case of evacuation
Your dog or cat is more than a pet: it is often a member of the family, so there is no question of leaving it behind if you have to evacuate your home in case of a natural disaster.
Because of hygiene and safety regulations, pets are not allowed in temporary evacuee shelters set up by the City. To solve this problem, the City of Beaconsfield has signed an agreement with Humane Society International /Canada, a national animal protection organization with expertise in natural disaster preparedness and response for companion animals displaced by hurricanes, tornados, flooding, earthquakes and other destructive acts of God.
In the eventuality of a natural disaster, HSC/Canada is committed to setting up and running safe emergency shelters to care for affected animals.

Parking
It is prohibited to park on any public street between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. all year round.
A temporary permit may be granted for overnight parking on a public street under certain conditions: renovations, repaving of a driveway, visitors. To obtain such a permit, please call 514 428-4400 or, after business hours, contact Municipal Patrol at 514 428-5999.
On-street parking during a snowfall
To ensure that snow is removed quickly and efficiently, Section 5.2 of Traffic By-law 780 regarding winter parking stipulates that it is forbidden to immobilize a road vehicle on a public street or space during any snowfall of 2.5 cm or more, or within six hours after the end of such a snowfall. Vehicles interfering with snow removal operations will be towed away at the owners’ expense with a fine.
Fireworks at home
According to By-law BEAC-033, it is prohibited to set off fireworks or fire crackers within the City without a permit from the City of Montreal Fire Department.
Fireworks can have serious consequences. They can also be a source of stress for some of our fellow citizens and for our pets.
