Be Prepared: Create Your 72-Hour Emergency Kit!
Emergencies can happen unexpectedly, but being prepared can give you peace of mind. We're encouraging every household to put together a "Go Bag" or emergency kit with enough supplies to last for at least 72 hours.
Here's what your kit should include:
Water: At least 6 litres per person.
Food: Non-perishable food that doesn't require cooking.
Health: First-aid kit and a three-day supply of any prescription medicines.
Essentials: Flashlight, a wind-up or battery-powered radio, and extra batteries.
Money: Some cash in small bills.
Documents: Copies of important papers like your driver's license and insurance.
Plan: A copy of your family's emergency plan.
Pro-Tip: Always keep your car's gas tank full and your cell phone charged!
Remember to check your kit twice a year and replace expired items. Stay safe and prepared!
