Every day, a variety of products are handled and transported through Vernon. Some of these materials can pose risks to health, property and the environment if accidentally released.
In the event of a spill, emergency officials may direct residents to stay indoors, until it is safe to go outside.
Residents can take simple but important steps to be ready:
- Download the Alertable app to receive messages directly to your phone
- Sign up for email updates from the City
- Prepare in advance for an emergency
