Emergency Preparedness

Are You Prepared for an Emergency?

Emergency Management Ontario suggests that every family assembles a 72 Hour Survival Kit. Your 72 Hour Survival Kit should include items which would sustain your family in an emergency. Items such as flashlights, batteries, blankets, extra clothing, cash, canned food, a manual can opener, candles and matches can make surviving an emergency easier. Think of the items your family might need in a power outage, flood or any other type of emergency and be prepared!

Do you want to build a customized emergency plan for your family? Emergency Management Ontario has a tool to help!
