Are you prepared should calamity strike?
This is Emergency Preparedness Week and the provincial government is reminding residents to do their part to ensure their household is prepared in the event of an emergency.
Among the best ways is to keep an emergency kit on hand including water, non-perishable food, batteries, a portable radio and enough prescription medications that can last for at least 72 hours.
A list of items that can be included in your emergency kit and other essential information can be found online.
