Emergency Preparedness Week 2022

Emergency Preparedness Week is May 1 - 7, 2022

Everyone has a role to play in an emergency. Emergency Preparedness (EP) Week is an opportunity for you to take action to ensure you are prepared to protect yourself, your family and your community during an emergency. This year, the theme is Emergency Preparedness: Be Ready for Anything. The intent of this theme is to encourage Canadians to take action to become better prepared for the range of emergencies they could face in their region.

 

EP Week encourages Canadians to take three simple steps to become better prepared to face a range of emergencies:

• Know the risks
• Make a plan
• Get an emergency kit
