Disasters can strike anywhere and anytime. Emergency preparedness increases knowledge and reduces risks in the event of an unforeseen emergency.

Planning for an emergency is everyone's responsibility. Some individuals may not have the support or capacity to deal with emergencies. Reach out and offer to help family, friends and neighbours who may be vulnerable or unable to support themselves during an emergency.
