Step One – Make a Plan
In an emergency, your family may not be together, or you may be asked to evacuate your home. Thinking about what you would do in different situations and preparing a plan with every member of your family is the first step to being prepared.
Learn what situations you need to plan for, such as where to go in an evacuation or how to reach family members at ontario.ca/page/emergency-management
Step Two – Build an Emergency Survival Kit
Your emergency survival kit should have everything you and your family would need to be safe and take care of yourselves for at least 3 days immediately following an emergency.
To learn more about items you may need to meet your family's unique needs, and items to have ready in case you have to leave your home and to build a custom survival kit, visit ontario.ca/page/emergency-management
Step Three – Stay Informed
During an emergency, you should stay tuned to local news channels. Be sure to have a portable, battery-operated or crank radio in your survival kit in case of power outages.
