Emergency Preparedness
Emergencies can happen quickly, without warning, at any time of day and in any season.
Emergency preparedness starts at home. Make sure you and your family are prepared for any emergency.
Take the time now to be prepared. The Are You Ready? guide outlines the four simple steps you can follow:
- Have a plan in case you are told to stay inside or to leave quickly.
- Know the risks where you live, work and play; it will help you be better prepared.
- Make a kit, or several kits, of basic items you will need in an emergency.
- Stay in touch with your emergency contacts and get reliable information during an emergency.
If you live, work, play, or go to school near the nuclear plants in Clarington or Pickering, take some time to learn about how you can prepare to be safe.
The Region of Durham and its eight local area municipalities have emergency programs and plans in place. Plans are regularly reviewed and practised.
