BE PREPARED - PLAN FOR EMERGENCIES:

In our daily lives, disasters seem far from our minds and a distant possibility.  However, natural, technological and environmental disasters do occur, and quite often without warning.  When a community is stricken by floods or tornadoes, accidents such as chemical spills, or even service disruptions such as power failures, being unprepared for a disaster can shatter your life.

Ensure that everyone in your family is prepared and knows what to do before, during and after an emergency.

Below are some booklets (pdf) to help you survive:
