BWG Prepared is a series of monthly tips that will help you and your family prepare for an emergency.  Follow along to gather the items you may need to create an emergency kit for your family.  At the end of the year, you will have a fully stocked kit for your home in case an emergency occurs.

In July, it is time to plan for an emergency.  Take the time to create an emergency plan complete with an evacuation map of your home so that you and your family will know how to communicate, what to do and where to go in the event of an emergency.  For more information on how to create an emergency plan visit, Government of Canada Get Prepared.

Designate an out-of-area contact to call during an emergency.  A designated contact can be a central check-in point for your family. The person should be far enough away to be unaffected by the emergency.  Keep your designated contact’s phone number in your kit and with you at all times.
