Be Prepared - Make a Plan and 72 Hour Kits

Infographic of Emergency Preparedness Kit

While there are no current evacuation orders in place, we are asking that all residents take precautionary measures and be prepared. We suggest that residents:

1. Prepare for possible evacuation

2. Mitigate yard sites, by making fire guards around homes & structures,

3. Move firewood, dead vegetation, portable propane tanks, and other combustibles away from homes and buildings,

4. Consider placing sprinklers on homes to wet the roof surfaces, this will help should sparks stop raining down,

5. Cut dead grass around buildings and remove dried leaves and twigs from rain gutters,

6. Pre-wet ground and roof surfaces using water hoses, pumps, etc.

Be Prepared Alberta has more resources to prepare yourself.
