Emergency Preparedness Week is a nationwide event that encourages Canadians to take action to better prepare and protect themselves and their families during emergencies such as wildfires, earthquakes and floods. We should all be ready to take care of ourselves for a minimum of 72 hours. Having a plan helps us be prepared and self-sufficient and allows emergency responders to prioritize assistance where it is most needed. The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) invites residents to learn more about emergency preparedness in our region through several resources including downloadable workbooks, handbooks, checklists and links to other emergency preparedness websites.
