Is your Family Prepared?
The "Get Prepared" campaign encourages Canadians to be
prepared to cope on their own for at least the first 72 hours
of an emergency, enabling first responders to focus on those
in urgent need.
KNOW THE RISK
Although the consequences
of disasters can be similar
knowing that risks specific to our
community and our region can
help you better prepare.
MAKE A. F LAA
It will help organize you & your
family and help all to know what
to do when the feeling of panic
sets in.
GET A 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 situation.
