Emergency Preparedness Week: May 4th - 10th, 2025
PLAN FOR EVERY SEASON - Stay Prepared, Stay Safe
This Emergency Preparedness Week, join us as we emphasize the importance of being ready for emergencies throughout the year, under the theme "Plan for Every Season." Each season brings unique challenges, whether it's winter storms, spring flooding, summer heatwaves, or autumn winds. Preparing for every scenario ensures our community's safety and resilience.
• Understand Seasonal Risks: Identify the seasonal hazards relevant to the The Archipelago and throughout Ontario. Always be prepared for 72-hours.
• Make a Year-Round Plan: Develop household emergency strategies that address potential challenges each season brings.
• Seasonal Kits: Adapt your emergency kit with season-specific essentials, including warm clothing, sunscreen, or sandbags.
• Stay Informed All Year: Follow seasonal updates from our emergency services to leverage resources and alerts effectively.
Throughout the week, we'll offer guidance on how to tailor your emergency preparedness plans to seasonal changes. Engage with our website - link below - and social media for insights, tips, and updates that can equip you and your family to face any emergency, at any time of the year.
