Emergency Preparedness Week May 3-8

Everyone has a role to play in an emergency. EP Week is an opportunity for you to take action to ensure you are prepared to protect yourself, your family and your community during an emergency. This year, the theme is Emergency Preparedness: Be Ready for Anything.  

Natural disasters may be beyond our control, but there are ways to reduce the risk and the impact of whatever emergency we might face. By taking a few simple steps, you can become better prepared to face a range of emergencies – anytime, anywhere. It is important to:
  • Know the risks – Knowing the risks specific to our community and our region can help you better prepare.
  • Make a plan – It will help you and your family know what to do
  • 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.
