Emergency Action Plan
Updated: April 2024
DISTRICT OF CARLETON NORTH EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
1
In an emergency situation, threatening or causing danger to the lives and property
of citizens, the primary mission of the government is suddenly directed towards protecting
those citizens and mitigating the effects to property and the environment. While the
likelihood of a major emergency in this area is remote, we still have to presume that there
is always a possibility. Therefore, we have developed this Emergency Action Plan.
This manual should provide a sound basis for local and regional response actions,
preparedness programs, and training activities designed to minimize the effects of any
peacetime emergency that could occur in the District of Carleton North.
The base portion of this plan provides an organization, concept and policies, and
establishes the assignment of emergency responsibilities. Additional information and
operational procedures addressed in the supporting annexes to this plan. This information
combined with each separate municipality's list of available resources will help provide a
guideline to follow to achieve basic emergency preparedness.
Mr. Sid Alchorn, Manager of Emergency Measures Organization in 1994, produced
the original version of the plan. Most of the material in this manual comes from the original
plan, although some things have been formatted to fit this new revised edition.
We must remember that having an Emergency Action Plan is only the first step to
total emergency preparedness. Mr. Alchorn states, "there is a continual need to develop
better emergency operation procedures, train and educate staff members and volunteers,
and consistently revise this plan."

REGIONAL SPECIFICS
Climate
The climate of our region is dry and this contributes to the extremes in temperature
between summer and winter. Based on a survey completed between the years 1965 to
2000, our all-time high temperature recorded is 35ºC compared to our record low of -
38ºC.The average amount of rainfall recorded annually is approx. 833mm.
We can receive snowfall over an 8-month period from October through May. The
average amount of snowfall is approx. 236 cm per season. The record amount of snowfall
for a climate day in this area was 60cm.
Geography
The District of Carleton North encompasses the former town of Florenceville-
Bristol and the villages of Bath and Centreville as well as the concurrent annexation of
adjacent unincorporated areas. The Village of Bath and the Town of Florenceville-Bristol
are located on the east side of the Saint John River, with Florenceville-Bristol's boundaries
running across the river to the west side. Centreville lies on the west side of the Saint John
River, approximately 10 km from Florenceville-Bristol.
Government
Council hires the municipal Chief Administrative Officer or Clerk. They carry out
the ordinances of Council, make recommendations and execute the annual budget. They
have no vote in council meetings.
Education
Within the Northern Carleton Region we have 7 public schools and 1 private
school. Our nearest Community College is located in Woodstock. Our largest school,
Carleton North Senior High School, is located in Florenceville-Bristol and houses approx.
650 students between the grades of 9 through 12.
Medical Services
There are no hospitals located in our region. The closest hospital is located in
Waterville and is a regional hospital. However, many of our residents travel to the Hotel
Dieu of St. Joseph in Perth-Andover. Serious cases are usually sent to Dr. Everett Chalmers
in Fredericton or to Saint John Regional in Saint John.
The Village of Bath and Town of Florenceville-Bristol also provide medical services
through their medical clinics.
Currently, there are 2 optometrists in this region. Dr. Harvey Bass, and Dr. Lillian
Linton who are both located in Florenceville-Bristol. Dr. Jeremy Fournier, Dr. Christine
McLaughlin, Dr. Bhalla and Dr. Ian Giberson service this region as dentists.
Power
The bulk of energy is currently provided by NB Power services.
Protective Services
DISTRICT OF CARLETON NORTH EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
59
Each municipality has their own fire department, but our policing services are
dispatched through the Woodstock office of the RCMP. Our three municipalities are in
RSC 12.
Sewer Systems
Each municipality has its own separate system.

HAZARD ANALYSIS IN ORDER OF PRIORITY
Winter Storm/Ice
Predictability of severe winter storms in the Northern Carleton region is high. We
usually experience our first winter storm by late October. The record amount of snow to
fall in one day was in Beechwood in 1972. Snowfall amount was recorded at 60cm that
day.
Duration is usually from 24 hours to a few days. Scope of damage has been limited
in the past to minor automotive accidents and power outages.
Hazardous Material Incident
Predictability of a hazardous material accident is uncertain. Hazardous materials
are commonly used, transported, and produced in all four of the municipal regions. If
substantial amounts of these chemicals are released into the environment during an
accident, it could be harmful or injurious to humans, animals, property and the economy.
Based on past history, this area has been very fortunate, as we have had only minor
incidents, with few casualties and little damage.
Most of our local fire departments have taken special training sessions to help them
prepare for such a hazard. Hazardous material awareness sessions are ongoing in this area.
Duration of an incident can be for as little as a few minutes to as long as several
days or weeks. The intensity of impact and the scope of damage done depend on the
substance being dealt with and the location of the contamination.
Major Industrial Fire
Predictability of an industrial fire is based on the amount of major industries we
have located within our municipalities. Each municipality contains major industries within
their limits and detailed information of each one is located in our Resources Guide.
Controllability of the fire damage depends on the location and cause of the fire, but
most facilities have equipped themselves with emergency operating procedures. Our
largest industry, McCain Foods is manned by its own Fire Brigade.
Duration of a fire could range from a few hours to a few days.
Epidemic (Food Poisoning)
Predictability of food poisoning epidemic is based on the amount of produce and
livestock raised in this area. We are considered to be the "potato belt" of New Brunswick.
Potatoes themselves are not much of a threat to human health but the state of health of the
crop can become seriously endangered, thus causing an economic disaster.
There are approximately two to three hundred known cases of food poisoning every
year in this area, but they are mostly isolated to individual persons or families.
The more serious threat is the amount of pesticides stored within our local region.
Worst case scenario would be with contamination of major water supplies. The government
regulations are in place to control the amount of substances stored in specific areas. The
severity of damage could last from days to months of clearing up polluted water sources.
Flood
DISTRICT OF CARLETON NORTH EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
61
Frequency of moderate flooding is averaging every five years. Our last major flood
occurred in the spring of 2008. We are also on standby to assist Victoria County, which
has a high rate of flood activity.
Tornado/Hurricane
No major types of these storms have been recorded in this area. A few minor
twisters have touched down in the local area causing minor damage. High winds have
occasionally been the cause of power outages and downed power lines and trees.
Aircraft Accident
Very limited predictability as there is not a lot of air traffic over the region. We
have two privately owned airports. One is located in Ward 2 Florenceville and owned by
McCain Foods Ltd and the other is located in Ward 1 Bristol and owned by Fred Allen.
Pollution
Predictability of pollution in the Saint John River is uncertain, but due to the major
industry located on the river, chances of a minor pollution situation are viable.
Environmental guidelines have been placed on local industry to ensure safety measures are
taken by all industries.
Such an incident could have long term effects on the residents and environment of our
region.
Fuel Shortage
Based on the condition of world events and international tension, the chances of a
fuel shortage in this area are small. A good number of our local farmers are equipped with
their own sources of fuel.
Intensity of impact of fuel shortage is that life, property and the economy could be less
seriously impaired.
Attack/Risk Area Identification
These are low but possible risk factors of a direct hit from an enemy due to the
proximity of Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station. Geographically we are located
approximately 160 km northwest of one of the largest land training military bases, Base
Gagetown.
Controllability of enemy attack is vested with the federal government. Federal,
provincial and local governments have preparedness, response and recovery capability, but
local government must deal with initial response alone until outside help is mobilized.
Duration of enemy attack could be from a period of a few minutes, if the attack is
nuclear, two weeks or months if it is conventional, biological, or chemical in nature. Scope
and impact would be widespread and probably nationwide. Life, property and the economy
would be seriously impaired.
DISTRICT OF CARLETON NORTH EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
62
Summary
The Northern Carleton Region has a higher probability of human-induced disaster
due to the amount of industries located within the region. The Canada/US border traffic
through Centreville follows along the Presque Isle Stream; therefore any dangerous goods
being hauled that are involved in a motor vehicle accident could very easily contaminate
the water. The Route 130 (old TransCanada Highway) runs through the Town of
Florenceville-Bristol so a major automobile accident could easily disrupt "normal"
functions of the area.
In regards to natural disasters, extreme weather conditions are monitored and
updates can be received by calling Environment Canada's Atlantic Climate Center in
Fredericton at 451-6006. Ask for the shift supervisor.

New Brunswick & Maine Railways (NBM) are part of the J.D. Irving, Limited group of companies, a family-owned, New
Brunswick-based business with a 130-year history. NBM Railways is made up of the following three companies: New
Brunswick Southern Railway (NBSR), Eastern Maine Railway (EMR) and Maine Northern Railway (MNR). We're
committed to our people and the communities in which we do business, and travel through via our railways. The safe
operation of our business is a priority. We comply with - and in many cases exceed - the many safety regulations that
guide our industry, through Transport Canada and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) in the United States. It's a
commitment we take seriously each and every day.
We're committed to the safe operations of our business and strive to be the best in class in everything we do.
-All of our trains operate with a two-person train crew who complete a detailed inspection before every departure.
-All locomotives that are unattended and safely parked on rail sidings and rail yards will be completely secured and
rendered inoperable.
-Hand brake policies provide train crews with more specific guidance on their application to include the size of the train
and the terrain where the train is parked.
-On our high density railway lines, we undertake visual rail inspections three to five times per week, while industry
regulations require a weekly inspection.
-We use X-Ray and Ultrasonic technology to help identify any rail flaws not visible to the human eye, while industry
regulations require that we conduct this assessment yearly we often exceed these requirements.
-As we are part of the J.D. Irving, Limited group of companies, we have timely access to one of the best emergency
response teams in North America and top emergency response equipment.

Storm Surge
o
To assess the risk of storm surge you will need tide information (times and magnitudes), storm surge
modeling and possibly wave modeling
o
Tides can be obtained at the Canadian Hydrographic Service website:
http://www.waterlevels.gc.ca/eng
o
Storm surge estimate will be obtained through Environment Canada warnings or more detailed
modelling provided is special briefing packages
o
Check the Environment Canada Wave Model to see if there are any large waves approaching the time
of peak water level.
o
Use the tide times and the storm surge model to find the predicted peak water level (consider possible
wave setup) - this will be the water level from chart datum
Total Water Level (CD) = (Tide) + (Predicted Storm Surge) + (Wave Setup)
o
Optional: In some cases you may want to convert the predicted water level relative to chart datum to the
water level relative to CGVD28 which is the reference level for heights in Canada.
