RDN News Release - Emergency Preparedness Week May 2 - 8

Emergency Preparedness Week is a nationwide event that encourages Canadians to take concrete actions to better prepare and protect themselves and their families during emergencies. The theme this year is Emergency Preparedness: It’s Everyone’s Responsibility. 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.
