Be Prepared: Strong Winds

Strong winds have the potential to cause power or communication disruptions and potential injury. #BePrepared and have a plan to keep yourself and others safe.  

• Keep your communications devices charged and keep an external power bank charged in case of power failure. 

• Keep cash on hand in case ATMs/debit machines are down.     

• Keep your electric or hybrid vehicles charged, or your gas tank full in case gas stations lose power.  

• Keep a generator on hand, especially for those who rely on medical equipment to sustain life.  

Extreme winds and tornadoes are common in Alberta. Make an emergency plan, stay informed, and encourage yourself and loved ones to learn more on how to protect yourselves here.
