PTBOCounty Emergency Management

As many good neighbors support one another in our community, please ensure your safety. @ptbocounty @ptboparamedics ccohs.ca/oshanswers/saf…

As we continue restoration, more downed lines and poles are being discovered. We know it’s difficult being without electricity. In order to get power to individual homes, our crews have to repair and energize the major infrastructure first, which then feeds into local areas.

Whether it is community support, housing information, or mental health, 211 Community Navigators can identify the service that will meet your needs. Stop searching, start dialing 2-1-1.

Healthy Planet Arena and the Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre are open from 8am to 8pm today and tomorrow for people who need to charge their devices (not open for regular recreation services). Please bring your own charging cables. 3/3

The Bridgenorth Community Hall (836 Charles Street) is open today - Tuesday, May 24th until 5:00PM for Selwyn Township residents to charge devices/medical equipment. Please be mindful of others looking to charge equipment as well!

#DouroDummer is working to support our residents, updates will be posted on the website as they become available. Until our phone lines are operational pls use e-mail or visit the office in person. @ptbocounty

Our neighbours to the south are here to help! Crews from the US have crossed the border to assist with getting the lights back on. Saturday’s #ONstom caused extensive damage, and we appreciate everyone’s patience. Thank you to the crews for coming!

Thanks for the shout out, @KevinFrankish!
