Gather supplies and build an emergency kit
Unexpected situations happen everyday. Having supplies is one thing you can do to help manage whatever may come your way.
If an emergency happens in your community, it may take emergency workers some time to reach you. Being prepared allows emergency workers to help those who need it most. You should be prepared to take care of yourself and those close to you for a minimum of 72 hours. For information and checklists on what to include in your emergency kit, visit alberta.ca/GetSupplies
