Zorra Township has strengthened its emergency preparedness through a $47,000 Community Emergency Preparedness Grant (CEPG) from the Government of Ontario.

With this funding, Zorra Township has acquired key emergency response equipment, including:
- An emergency response trailer
- 125 cots for evacuation and reception centres
- Deployment carts
- Pillows, blankets, and hygiene kits, portable chargers
- Electrical upgrades enabling the EV charger at the Zorra Municipal Centre to operate on the backup generator during power outages
These additions significantly enhance the Township’s ability to quickly establish emergency evacuation and reception centres and support residents during critical events.
