Every household needs an evacuation plan and emergency preparedness kit.
Being prepared can keep you and your family safe:
• Make a plan: Every household needs to know what to do in case of a wildfire and it takes less than 30 minutes to make a plan. Write it down, give family and friends copies, and keep it in a safe place.
• Monitor local information: Pay attention to the news and check the New Brunswick Fire Watch website (https://t.co/NHhaMLexGF) regularly.
• Be ready to evacuate: New Brunswickers should have transportation and a pre-packed backpack or bag containing essential supplies to help them to evacuate from their community if needed. Basics include water, food, blanket, flashlights, radio, batteries, first aid kit, prescription medications, infant formula, cash, and a spare set of clothes.
