Emergency Preparedness Week encourages Canadians to take concrete actions to be better prepared to protect themselves and their families during emergencies. This special week is a national effort lead by Public Safety Canada, provincial and territorial emergency management organizations, Indigenous organizations, non-governmental organizations, and private sector.

By taking a few simple steps, you can become better prepared to face a range of emergencies – anytime, anywhere. It is important to:

• Know the risks – Although the consequences of disasters can be similar, knowing the risks specific to our community and our region can help you better prepare.
• Make a plan – It will help you and your family know what to do
• Get an emergency kit – During an emergency, we will all need some basic supplies. We may need to get by without power or tap water. Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours in an emergency.

Home Fire Sprinkler Week is our department’s annual reminder that home fire sprinklers are one of the most effective ways to protect your family and property. Modern home fires burn faster than ever, and sprinklers control a fire in its earliest moment, often before firefighters arrive, reducing injuries, damage, and risk to everyone involved. As the week begins, we encourage residents to learn how sprinklers work, why they matter, and how they can be included in new homes or major renovations.

For more information you can visit the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition Canada website https://homefiresprinklercanada.ca/ or the National Fire Protection Association https://www.nfpa.org/education-and-research/home-fire-safety/fire-sprinkler-initiative

There’s a reason they call carbon monoxide the “silent killer” – it’s colorless, odorless, tasteless and can’t be detected by humans without the help of an carbon monoxide alarm. This week is Carbon Monoxide Awareness week and we are encouraging all Ontarians to test their carbon monoxide alarms and check the expiry date to ensure your alarms are operational. Follow our social media accounts for more information on carbon monoxide.
