Emergency Preparedness

An emergency can occur at any time. When it happens will you be ready? Follow these three steps to becoming emergency ready!

1. Know The Risks – Learn what hazards exist in your area
2. Make A Plan – Make a plan so you and your family will know how to communication, what to do and where to go in the event of an emergency.
3. Prepare A Kit – Gather the supplies you will need if an emergency occurs. Prepare a kit for your home, workplace and car.

In a disaster, first responders and emergency workers focus their initial efforts on helping people who need immediate, urgent assistance.

As a result, if your neighbourhood is not in immediate danger, it may take time for workers to clear roads and restore utilities to your area. Therefore, all residents should make plans to be as self-sufficient as possible for at least 72 hours.

Taking time to prepare yourself, your family, and your property for an emergency can make a big difference!
