If you are asked to stay inside or evacuate, you should have an emergency plan. Take some time to write down what you are going to do in an emergency.
Include children, seniors, and pets in your plan. For anyone with disabilities or special needs, the federal and provincial governments also offer guides for your emergency planning.
Think about things like:
- Hearing
- High-rise safety
- Mobility
- Non-visible disabilities
- Service animals
- Travel considerations
- Vision
Make sure everyone knows where to find your emergency plan and emergency kits. Remember to practise your plan often.
