Personal Preparedness Lunch & Learn

If an emergency happens in your community, it may take emergency workers some time to reach you. You should be prepared to take care of yourself and your family for a minimum of 72 hours. Learn how quick and easy it is to become better prepared to face a range of emergencies – anytime, anywhere.

Being prepared means having the knowledge, plans, and tools to cope in an emergency. This includes knowing the risks in your community, making a family emergency plan, and getting or making an emergency preparedness kit.

About Emergency Preparedness Week

Since 1996, Public Safety Canada has coordinated an annual national event encouraging Canadians to be prepared for emergencies in their community. This national event is called Emergency Preparedness Week (EPW), which runs the first full week in May each year. In 2016, EPW runs from May 1 – 7.
