Emergency Preparedness Kits
Are you prepared?
Experience has shown that after a natural disaster many individuals and neighbourhoods are left on their own for at least 72 hours. Although there is nothing that can be done to prevent a natural disaster, you can prepare now to survive during the emergency and during the next 72 hours.
Basic Preparation includes:
- Water
- Battery Operated Radio
- Blankets
- Food
- Clothing/shelter
- First Aid
Hazards: Secure items in your home or office. Interruptions to normal services are likely. Gather your family and neighbours together to develop a plan; it could save your life and the lives of those around you.
