This year, Emergency Preparedness Week is May 1-7, 2022.
Emergency Preparedness Week encourages Canadians to take concrete actions to be better prepared to protect themselves and their families during emergencies. This special week is a national effort of provincial and territorial emergency management organizations, and Public Safety Canada.
By taking a few simple steps, you can become better prepared to face a range of emergencies - anytime, anywhere.
It is important to:
1) Know the risks - Although the consequences of disasters can be similar, knowing the risks specific to our community and our region can help us better prepare.
2) Make a plan - It will help you and your family know what to do.
3) Get an emergency kit - During an emergency, we will all need some basic supplies. We may need to get by without power or tap water. Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours in an emergency.
