Emergency planning and preparedness is an important part of keeping you and your family safe in case of an emergency or disaster. The Town of East Gwillimbury has an Emergency Plan to handle big events when they occur but being preparing at home and work is a great practice. If an emergency or disaster occurs, this could impact road access, power supply, and could cause other unexpected consequences.
Knowing what type of emergencies that could impact your community is the first step in emergency planning. Some examples for EG include severe winter storms, flooding, power failure and infectious disease. Visit Get Prepared Canada for more information.
This will help your family tackle unique challenges that could arise. Families with vulnerable persons, such as seniors, pets or those with disabilities may require additional support and planning strategies. This plan should include a home escape plan.
It is a good idea to have an emergency kit in your home that can sustain your family for up to 72 hours.
