Disasters can happen anywhere and at any time. Time and circumstance are of vital importance.
Having the knowledge, plans, and supplies you need to react appropriately to any and all emergencies will not only give you a sense of assurance in a time of crisis but will also contribute to our community’s overall ability to respond and recover.
It only takes four simple steps to become better prepared to face an emergency:
- Know the risks
- Make a plan
- Buy or prepare an emergency supplies kit
- Download Alberta Emergency Alert to receive alerts of emergencies happening in your location
