This is a wonderful opportunity for our Perth County Emergency Control Group Members, Stakeholders and Partners to network and learn!

A panel of "first-hand" responders from the Goderich tornado will provide insight on their experiences and lessons learned.

After lunch, we will break-out into agencies and organizations and work through a discussion-based situational exercise.
