Emergency Preparedness Week - May 4 to May 10
Safety starts with being prepared and having a plan. Everyone has a part to play in preparing for emergencies. Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) is a national event that educates communities throughout the province about actions people can take to prepare for emergency situations. The theme for 2025 is “Plan for every season.” This theme reflects the challenges facing Ontario on a seasonal basis and the opportunities to practise emergency preparedness throughout the year. Ontario’s theme complements the national theme “Be Prepared. Know Your Risks.” released by Public Safety Canada. For more information, visit ontario.ca or getprepared.ca.
Emergency Preparedness
An emergency can happen without warning, leaving little or no time for you to plan what to do next. It can confine you to your home or workplace or even force you to leave your neighbourhood. You cannot predict emergencies but you can prepare for them!
To be ready for anything, you need to prepare your family and property for a range of emergencies. The Region of York has a webpage – york.ca/BePrepared – to help everyone prepare for an emergency.
The Town of Georgina has an Emergency Plan that will lead us through a disaster and help us support our community by providing important services.
