Emergency Preparedness Week: May 1-7, 2022

 

Last week was Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week), a national event supported by Public Safety Canada, working closely with provincial and territorial emergency management organizations, Indigenous organizations, non-governmental organizations, and private sector who support activities at the local level. An annual event for over 25 years, it traditionally takes place during the first full week of May.

EP Week is an opportunity for you to take action to ensure you are prepared to protect yourself, your family, and your community during an emergency.

This year, the theme is Emergency Preparedness: Be Ready for Anything. The intent of this theme is to encourage Canadians to take action to become better prepared for the range of emergencies they could face in their region.
