Community Calendar

Safety starts with being prepared and having a plan. Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) is a national event that educates communities across the province about actions people can take to prepare for emergency situations and takes place from May 4 though 10, 2025.

Ontario's EP Week theme for 2025 is “Plan for every season.”  This theme reflects the unique challenges facing Ontario on a seasonal basis and the opportunities to practice emergency preparedness throughout the year.

The recent challenges faced by residents during April's ice storm, it's aftermath and the localized flooding that followed shortly afterwards highlights the importance of being prepared for different emergencies.

By taking a few simple steps, you can become better prepared to face a range of emergencies – anytime, anywhere. It is important to:

• Know the risks – Although the consequences of disasters can be similar, knowing the risks specific to our community and our region can help you better prepare
• Make a plan – It will help you and your family know what to do
• Get an emergency kit – During an emergency, we will all need some basic supplies. We may need to get by without power or tap water. Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours in an emergency. The Canadian Red Cross sells very good pre-made emergency kits.

Visit www.getprepared.ca for more resources to help you and your family prepare for all types of emergencies, including an excellent guide on how to make an Emergency Kit.
