Emergency preparedness - Be Prepared

Are you ready? Planning for an emergency starts with you:

  • Do you have a plan? You can't predict an emergency, but you can prepare for one. Make an Emergency Preparedness Action Plan.
  • Does your family have an Emergency Survival Kit? Make one or buy a kit from The Canadian Red Cross.
  • Do you have copies of important documents? Such as: insurance provider contact information, passports, government issued identification, your last will and testament, a list of current medications. Keep these items in a fireproof safety deposit box or other fire safe location.
  • Have you considered how children react in an emergency situation?
  • The needs and supplies of our seniors and individuals with disabilities may be different than yours.
  • Have you thought about your pets in an emergency?
  • Do you live in a high-rise?

No one can predict the on-set of an emergency situation within the municipality.  However, our best defense against one is to be prepared in the event we are confronted with an emergency situation.
