Schéma de couverture de risques en sécurité incendie (available in French only)
The Schéma de couverture de risques en sécurité incendie is a tool for managing fire risks and decision-making for municipality elected officials. For those responsible for rescue operations, it is a planning tool.
Fire risk management requires a knowledge of the risks present in the territory.
To face these risks, it is necessary to:
- have prevention measures in place in order to reduce the likelihood of fires;
- plan all elements of fire procedures in order to limit the consequences when a fire breaks out.
Thus, citizens will be better-protected.
Regional authorities, according to the Fire Safety Act, are obligated to create a risk management outline in conformity with the Orientations du ministre de la Sécurité publique en matière de sécurité incendie.
