Being prepared for such occurrences is very important. The City of Melville Emergency Measures Organization is striving to prepare for any potential crisis, but emergency preparedness is the responsibility of each and every individual in the community. This information offered here will prepare yourself, your family and your home in the event that an emergency should occur that will directly affect the citizens of Melville. Wouldn't it be more comforting to be prepared than risk of losing a loved one because you never spent the time and effort to effectively prepare for an emergency.

Tornadoes are a very real problem in our part of the country.
Statistics obtained from Environment Canada indicate that South-East Saskatchewan is a prime area for tornadoes. In 1991, there were 32 sightings of tornadoes in Saskatchewan, the majority evolving in our area. So, with the fact that tornadoes are such a concern, the Melville EMO felt that our citizens should be aware of basic principles that may be used to minimize the danger of injury when a tornado threatens. In Open Country , avoid an approaching tornado by moving away from its path at a right angle. If there is not time to escape, lie flat in a ditch or ravine for protection against flying debris.
