IS YOUR FAMILY PREPARED FOR AN EMERGENCY?

You should be prepared to take care of yourself and your family for a minimum of 72 hours. If disaster strikes, it may take emergency workers some time to get to you as they help those in desperate need. Follow these three steps to get prepared.

Step 1: Know the Risks

Learn about the natural hazards in your area. More importantly, learn how to prepare for them – a natural hazard need not be a natural disaster. Being prepared can make a world of difference.

Step 2: Make a Plan

By definition, emergencies happen when we don’t expect them, and often when families are not together. Suddenly, you need to think about your kids at school or elderly parents across town. If phones don’t work, or some roads aren’t accessible, what will you do?

Having a family emergency plan will save time and make real situations less stressful.

Step 3: Get a Kit

In case of a major event you will need some basic supplies set aside. Many emergency kit items may already be in your home. It’s just a question of taking some time and putting them together as your emergency kit.

For more info, including details about risks specific to your area, how to create a family emercency plan and what supplies to include in your emercency kit, visit www.getprepared.ca
