Community Safety

The RDNO is committed to helping create safe, prepared, and resilient communities. Through emergency preparedness and response, fire protection services, bylaw enforcement, dog control, and public education initiatives, we work alongside residents, local governments, and community partners to protect people, property, and the environment. 
 
Whether you're looking for information on emergency preparedness, fire safety, open burning regulations, responsible pet ownership, or community bylaws, this section provides the resources and services that help keep North Okanagan communities safe and informed.

Why Community Safety Matters

The RDNO works year-round to reduce risk, improve preparedness, and support public safety through prevention, education, enforcement, and emergency response coordination. By working together, residents and local governments can help build stronger, safer, and more resilient communities.
