Be Prepared: Home Preparation

Cooler temperatures are expected across the province, meaning you and your loved ones may be spending more time indoors. There are many ways you can prepare your household for winter hazards from the comfort of your own home.

Be Prepared by:

• Ensuring your furnace, wood stove, and other heat sources are working properly. If they need maintenance, call a professional to have them serviced.
• Using Be Prepared resources and programming and passing them along to your network.
• Checking your community’s website or connecting with community members to learn more about the hazards that could impact your area.

Preparedness is an ongoing journey built upon over time, with no start or end. Slowly adding steps to your routine helps you and your household build resilience when disruptions occur.
