If the RDN Emergency Alert system is activated

RDN Emergency Services will outline the nature of the emergency, how to obtain additional information and what supports are available for public safety. This may include instructions to:

Ensure you are signed up for VoyentAlert!, the RDN Emergency Notification system.
Refer to RDN Emergency Services home page (this page) for information and notices/alerts.
Monitor trusted social media sources e.g., RDN Facebook page
Monitor and watch/listen/read updates from local media outlets such as radio and television. Did you know sometimes public information might only be transmittable via radio stations if electricity is out. Do you have a battery operated or wind-up radio?
Follow trusted provincial sources, provincial notifications, or updates if applicable and available.

Are you prepared?

Steps you can take to prepare immediately including registering for the RDN's emergency notifications (Voyent Alert), building a stay-at-home emergency kit, create a grab-and-go bag, stock plenty of water and complete your home emergency preparedness plan. Our Get prepared section also provides advice, videos and guides for preparedness at home, on your farm, in your small business, place of work, school, car or if you are planning for people with additional needs.

Learn about qualifying and registering for Emergency Support Services to access essential supports and referrals (if your residence is impacted by an emergency). Understand everything you need to know about emergency alerts and FireSmart.

Remember! Being prepared for at least 72 hours of self-resiliency is a must and being prepared for 14 days is ideal.

Is your community or neighbourhood prepared?

Steps you and your community members can take via the Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness Program.
