BASES plays a key role in strengthening emergency preparedness across Sarnia-Lambton by fostering collaboration between industry, municipalities, emergency responders, and the broader community. Our region is recognized for its coordinated approach to emergency planning, response, and recovery - built on decades of shared experience, standardized protocols, and a strong commitment to public safety.

Standardized notification protocols trigger equipment and personnel deployment based on the specific scenario. Our model of mutual aid and unified command ensures that emergency resources across the region are available to any member site at any time as needed.

Our companies work both individually and collectively with municipal leaders on regional campaigns to promote emergency preparedness across our communities.  Industrial response teams conduct routine exercises to ensure notification and communication processes provide timely and accurate updates to internal responders, mutual aid teams, and municipal officials.  This helps optimize site-level response and ensures officials have the information they need to direct public action when necessary.

We actively engage communities through events, outreach, and information-sharing to help residents understand how to plan, prepare, and respond to different types of emergencies.
