If there was ever a safe
place to be, the Goderich
District Collegiate Insti-
tute's gym on May 4 was it.

all on hand to educate

The Huron County Health
Unit may not be a first
responder, but its role in
emergency response is crit-
ical. The spread of disease
through food and water is a
real threat to the wellbeing
of disaster survivors.
Donna Parsons, public
health nurse with the
Health Unit, said she
encourages people to have
a 72 hour plan in case of
emergency. This can
include having a designated
place for family members to
meet, or even just keeping
in touch through social
media.
