Emergency Preparedness Week – "In it together", May 4–10, 2025

This year’s theme is “In it together” — because emergencies affect everyone, and the best way to prepare is together.

Preparedness isn’t just about what’s in your emergency kit — it’s also about the people around you. Your neighbours will be your first source of help in a disaster, so get to know them now.

 👥 Take action

  • Reach out to your neighbours
  • Organize a neighbourhood meet-up, or connect through your Block Watch, strata council, or residents’ association
  • Talk about local hazards, household preparedness, and who may need extra help

Start at home🏠

  • Know the hazards in your area
  • Gather your emergency kit & grab-and-go bags
  • Make a home emergency plan – for you, your family, and your pets!

 📅 Free Webinars
Join the PreparedBC team for free online webinars all week!
👉 Register on Zoom – all attendees will be entered to win 1 of 5 emergency kits for 4 people!

 Let’s build stronger, safer communities. We’re in it together. 💙
