Be Prepared. Know Your Risks.

Make preparedness routine

We have heard from many people through the annual Preparedness Survey of Albertans, that the biggest reasons they are not prepared for emergencies is due to a lack of information, lack of money and procrastination.

Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) is an opportunity to build more resilient communities and increase Albertan’s risk awareness by identifying local hazards and sharing tips on how they can prepare.

When we know the risk, we are better prepared to take appropriate actions to help prevent and mitigate those risks.

This once-a-year spotlight on preparedness is a great opportunity to amplify your message by leveraging your communication channels and networks to break down the barriers to preparedness actions by sharing resources and messaging that encourages small actions year-round.

When the people living, working and visiting Alberta are self-reliant it helps them to achieve better outcomes during and after disruptions, emergencies and disasters and enables emergency responders to help those most vulnerable and get the situation under control.
