Disasters do not wait. Your plan should not either.

Emergency Preparedness Week in Canada is a reminder to take simple steps now that can protect your family, your home, and your peace of mind.

From floods and fires to severe storms and power outages, being prepared makes all the difference.

Why Emergency Preparedness Matters

Preparation builds confidence

Emergencies can happen at any time, often without warning.

Being prepared helps you:

• Act quickly and confidently
• Reduce damage to your property
• Keep your family safe

Preparation is simple. It is also essential.

1. Create a Family Emergency Plan

Know what to do

Make sure everyone in your household knows what to do.

Your plan should include:

• Emergency contact numbers
• A safe meeting place
• Exit routes from your home
• Plans for pets and vulnerable family members

Review your plan regularly so everyone stays prepared.

2. Build a Grab-and-Go Emergency Kit

Be ready to leave quickly

If you need to leave quickly, your essentials should already be packed.

Your kit should include:

• Water and non-perishable food for at least 72 hours
• Flashlight and extra batteries
• First aid kit
• Phone charger or power bank
• Copies of important documents in a waterproof bag
• Warm clothing and blankets

Keep your kit in an easy-to-access location.

3. Stay Connected to Emergency Alerts

Stay informed in real time

Real-time information can save lives.

Make sure you:

• Enable emergency alerts on your phone
• Monitor local news and weather updates
• Follow instructions from local authorities

When an alert is issued, act right away.

4. Protect Your Property Before Disaster Strikes

Reduce your risk

Preparation also means prevention.

Reduce your risk by:

• Cleaning gutters and downspouts
• Testing smoke alarms regularly
• Installing a sump pump or backwater valve
• Securing outdoor items before storms

Small actions now can help prevent major damage later.
