EP Week 2024 – Public Education

Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) 2024, scheduled for May 5-11, is a pivotal time for individuals and communities to enhance their preparedness for various emergencies.

This year the theme in Ontario is, "Plan for every season” which underscores the importance of understanding local hazards and taking proactive steps to mitigate potential impacts throughout the year. Community members and their families are encouraged to develop an emergency plan, assemble a 72 hour emergency kit, and stay informed about the most effective responses to potential crises throughout the year. Our website has many links to information and resources that will help in the planning and preparedness process. Being prepared for an emergency is not just the responsibility of the municipality but a collective one, involving individuals, families, and communities.

Follow us on our Facebook page where throughout the week we will be sharing information regarding specific emergencies that can impact you and your families.
