Are You Ready? Preparing You and Your Family for an Emergency Situation

Released on May 7, 2014

Saskatchewan is joining the rest of Canada to raise awareness of the need to be ready for an emergency.  May 4-10 is Emergency Preparedness Week.  This year’s theme is 72 hours…Is your family prepared?

“During an emergency, government and emergency organizations will respond on a large scale but one of the best ways that families can prepare for an emergency is to put together a simple emergency kit with enough provisions and supplies to be on their own for 72 hours,” Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter said.  

This kit should include items like:
  • bottled water
  • battery-powered flashlight
  • first-aid kit
  • non-perishable food and a manual can opener
  • prescriptions, medications and medical documents
  • equipment for people with disabilities
  • cash
  • information such as your home’s floor plan, location of emergency exits, a meeting area, up-to-date contact information and health card information
Emergency Preparedness Week is a national awareness initiative that has taken place annually since 1996.
