1. Know the hazards so you're planning is effective.
2. Make a plan to keep you focused during an emergency & know how you'll reach loved ones if you’re separated.
3. Build a household emergency kit & grab-and-go bags for everyone.
Emergency Preparedness Week is May 5-11. We'll be getting #backtobasics all week to help you prepare for the hazards in #BC.
We also want to highlight #EPWeek2019 events happening around the province. Just tag us in your post and we'll RT.
A #72hourkit is a must to help you stay #safe in an emergency: include bottled water, non-perishable food, a first aid kit & medication, key phone numbers, flashlight, whistle & more – Learn more about what to have in your kit: https://t.co/rGVKAzfjdq . #emergencyready#okanagan
It is #TsunamiPreparednessWeek in #BritishColumbia. Know your zone... know the signs...
#DYK that a tsunami is not "a wave", but rather a series of waves that can continue for hours?
Some great information here:

Each member of your household should have a grab-and-go bag prepped in case you have leave in a hurry. Once you've packed the basics like food and water, remember to add personal items like medications, extra glasses & seasonal clothing.
It's #TsunamiPrep Week (March 25-29). Get to know your zone at https://t.co/gCLyCNRJmZ, ahead of the next tsunami, so you know where to carefully and quickly evacuate. Think about where you live, work, and travel!
What's the diff b/t a grab-and-go bag & emergency kit? G&G bag: this is for leaving your home, school or work quickly. Emerg kit: this for staying home if it's considered safe. Important items are in one place to make it easier to deal w/ lack of power/heat & food/water
For those on the south coast, the last couple days of snow are a good reminder to get prepared. Do you have what you need to be on your own for at least 72 hrs? If you did use items from your kit, be sure to restock!
