I need help
The official routes, in the order to try them.
Where to turn, in order
- Call 911
Life in danger, fire spreading, someone hurt — always 911 first.
- Alert Ready ↗
Canada's official emergency alerts — evacuation orders arrive here, on TV, radio and phones.
- 211 Ontario — dial 211 ↗
Free, confidential, 24/7 — the province's directory of community, social and government help. Dial 2-1-1 or search online.
- Canadian Red Cross — current emergency responses ↗
During a declared response the Red Cross posts how evacuees register and what support is open, event by event.
- Environment Canada — Ontario alerts ↗
Every weather warning in effect for Ontario, from the source.
- Ontario 511 ↗
Provincial road closures and conditions — is your route out open?
If you are in the area
- Follow your evacuation order — leave when told, by the route given
- Register at the reception centre even if you are staying with family
- Do not return until re-entry is officially announced
ReadyEye is a companion to 911 and official emergency services — never a replacement. Your evacuation order, and the people issuing it, are the authority.
I see something
Who to tell, in the order to try them — then tell ReadyEye.
Tell the people who can act first
- Call 911
Flames near homes, someone in danger, smoke inside a building — 911 first, every time.
- 310-FIRE (310-3473) — report a wildland fire
Ontario's forest-fire line for smoke or flame in the bush, inside the fire region (north of the French and Mattawa rivers). South of them, call 911.
- Your conservation authority ↗
Rising water, a flooded road, a blocked culvert — the conservation authority for your watershed issues the flood messages. In immediate danger, 911.
- Spills Action Centre — 1-866-MOE-TIPS (1-866-663-8477) ↗
A spill, a chemical smell, something in the water — the province's 24-hour line.
- Earthquakes Canada — Did You Feel It? ↗
Felt shaking? The federal report form helps locate the quake.
Then tell ReadyEye — your report shows to people nearby as unconfirmed while a person checks it. ReadyEye never sends anyone anywhere: a companion to 911, never a replacement.
