Given the events of last weekend I thought it would be a good idea to draw everyone’s attention to our Wills Creek Community Forum Emergency Preparedness page and the Province of BC website which contains valuable information on how to prepare yourself in the event of an emergency.
Each year, thousands of people face emergency situations that could change their lives forever. Don’t be caught off-guard. Know the hazards in your area and take the time to assemble your family emergency kit.
During an emergency, you and your family could be on your own for an extended period of time. Emergency services may not be readily available, as increasing demands are placed on responders. It may take emergency workers some time to get to you as they help those in most critical need. As well, access to phones, gas, water, sewer and electrical services may be cut off. Learning how to be personally prepared is vital.
