72 HOURS
Since launching this site we have seen earthquakes in Pakistan and Texas, horrendous wildfires in California and Australia and ice storms in the eastern United States. Hundreds of thousands of people have been left homeless.
In North America we feel that we’re safe. But emergencies can strike without warning and every time that happens families are caught unprepared.
If there is an emergency or disaster in your community it can take a while for emergency workers to get to you. You and your family need to be prepared to fend for yourselves for a minimum of 72 hours. That could be 72 hours without food, power, water, heat or maybe even shelter.
Both FEMA and Public Safety Canada promote a three step plan to family preparedness.
*1. Know Your Risks. * 2. Make A Plan. * 3. Prepare A Kit.
