The fact is, disasters do happen. And disaster preparedness is every bit as essential here in Canada as it is in other countries. In recent floods, tornadoes, severe storms, forest fires, blackouts and industrial accidents have wreaked havoc in communities across the country.  Many of these emergencies were deadly. Being prepared can save lives and can help to reduce the impact of a disaster on you and your family.

When a disaster strikes, it may take emergency workers some time to reach everyone.  The Canadian Red Cross encourages all Canadians to share the responsibility for their own safety by planning ahead and being prepared to take care of yourself and your family for at least 72 hours in a disaster, and 1 to 2 weeks in a health emergency.
