Emergency Preparedness Week

This week, New Westminster’s Emergency Management Office is encouraging you to take concrete actions to be better prepared to protect yourself and your families during emergencies: know the risks, make a plan, and have an emergency kit. This year we are focusing our efforts on reminding everyone to create a communication network. This ensures, during an emergency, you have friends, family, or neighbours you reach out to and use if needed. As we saw last year with the heat, we all need to have a personal plan that we can mobilize. We need to continue to adapt and be more resilient as these events continue occur.
