British Columbians will be able to better prepare and stay informed during emergencies through a new tool.
As part of Emergency Preparedness Week, the provincial government has unveiled a new interactive Emergency Ready Planner is an online program that people can use to create emergency and evacuation plans for themselves and their family.
“We’re taking strong action to help you and your family prepare and have the information you need during emergencies,” Bowinn Ma, Minister of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness, stated.
“Being prepared and feeling ready starts with having a plan. We encourage everyone to make an emergency and evacuation plan, and the new tools launched today make planning easier and will help people stay safe.”
