Preparing for an Emergency

Natural disasters such as fires, blizzards, and floods can strike at any time. In such an event, we could be left without our essential services.

Emergency Canada guidelines suggest we should always be prepared to look after our own needs, as well as the needs of our family, for at least three days or 72 hours.
