When an emergency is predicted in your area, or if it’s the start of a hazard period like wildfire season, it’s important to have a go-bag at the ready!
A go-bag is an essential pack that every family member – including pets -- should have ready in case you need to evacuate your home at a moment’s notice. In an emergency, ever minute matters – don’t get caught off guard!
Wildfire season is here - make sure you’re prepared. A few simple steps today can help protect your home, your family and your community this season.
How you can prepare:
✔️Review your household emergency plan
✔️Keep important documents accessible
✔️Check your home insurance coverage and make sure it’s up to date
✔️Refresh your grab-and-go kit
✔️Stay informed by monitoring weather conditions, fire restrictions and downloading the NS Alert app
How Emergency Management is preparing:
✔️Investing in preparedness and firefighter training across Nova Scotia:
🔥$2.1 million for two new mobile burn units for hands-on training
🔥$480,000 for four multi-system propane training props
🔥$152,000 for firefighter training, Incident Command courses, and updated standardized materials
🔥$4 million through the Emergency Services Provider Fund to support fire services, GSAR, and HazMat teams
✔️Working with municipal, provincial, and federal partners to strengthen readiness and improve emergency response capabilities
✔️Enhancing training and communications systems so emergency teams can respond quickly during wildfire events
Preparedness is a shared responsibility. Thank you for doing your part to help keep Nova Scotia safe this wildfire season.
