Emergency Preparedness Week

Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) is a national awareness initiative and an opportunity for you to take action to ensure you're prepared to protect yourself, your family and your community during an emergency. This year, the theme is Be Prepared. Know Your Risks.

Throughout the week, CBRM and community partners will be sharing resources, safety information, and preparedness tips to help residents better understand how to prepare for emergencies at home, at work and in their communities.

As part of Emergency Preparedness Week, residents are invited to attend the Emergency Preparedness & Resiliency Expo on Sunday, May 3, from 1:00-4:30 p.m. at Centre 200.

Simple steps you can take today:

• Build a 72-hour emergency kit
• Make a household emergency plan
• Know your local risks
• Stay informed through trusted emergency alerts and updates
• Check in on neighbours, seniors and vulnerable family members
