WHAT IS AND WHAT IS NOT AN EMERGENCY?
An emergency is any urgent or catastrophic situation that compromises the life, freedom, safety or integrity of people or their property, which objectively requires immediate assistance. An urgency is an unforeseen event that must be attended to quickly, but that does not necessarily endanger the integrity of the person or their property.
