Stay tuned for Emergency Preparedness Week

Disasters can strike quickly and without warning. If a hazardous material leak required your family to evacuate or a severe winter storm confined your family at home, would you know what to do? An earthquake, flood, tornado, or any other disaster could cut water, electricity, and telephones for hours or days. Could you keep your family warm and fed?

Next week for Emergency Preparedness Week in Canada, we’re going to be blogging about some of the ways you and your family can stay safe in emergencies. Jennifer Mayville’s planning to share some emergency recipes and John Saunders wants to know if you’re smarter than a fifth grader when it comes to preparedness. We’re also going to show you how you can create a backpack couch in your own living room!

If you have any blog ideas, leave me a comment on this blog and I’ll get back to you asap.

Stay tuned....
