Emergency Preparedness Week 2020 |
|
Owen Sound, Ontario – Monday, May 4, 2020 – Emergency Preparedness Week is a Canada-wide annual event that takes place the first full week of May. This year we are dealing with the largest global health crisis of our time. COVID-19 has presented unprecedented challenges for society and we would like to thank all residents in Ontario for doing their part and staying home. We would also like to thank all the front line workers and first responders for their dedication.
We encourage you to visit https://covid-19.ontario.ca/ for the latest COVID-19 news.
Remember emergencies don’t happen when you expect them to:
Step 1 - Make a Plan
Learn about different emergencies and how to be prepared. It only takes a few minutes for your family to prepare an emergency plan. Having a plan in place will save time and make real situations less stressful.
Step 2 - Build a Kit
An emergency kit will help you and your family stay safe until emergency responders can reach you. Personalize your kit to suit the needs of you and your family.
Step 3 – Be Informed
Sign up for Ontario Emergency Alerts and learn about the hazards we can face and what we can do to stay safe.
