Be Prepared: We All Have a Role to Play

Disasters start in our communities and impact people first. We all have a role to play in emergency and disaster preparedness; know yours and be better prepared for what is within your control.  

#BePrepared by:     

• Identifying the hazards near you: Are grassfires common? Does a railway travel through your community?  Do you live in an area subject to extreme weather, such as extreme cold or snow?
• Knowing what to do if you must shelter in place or evacuate your community.  
• Staying informed through your community’s website or social media channels. Download local, provincial and federal alerting apps. Apps like AEA, Wildfire, and WeatherCAN can help keep you safe.  

When you are prepared to respond to an emergency, you can ensure your needs and those of your family and loved ones, are met when it matters most.
