ARE YOU PREPARED
FOR AN EMERGENCY?


PERSONAL EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

With the onset of warm, dry weather comes the possibility of increased wildland fire activity.  Residents in high-risk interface fire areas can prepare ahead by organizing a family emergency kit and making sure they have a family emergency plan.  For more information on preparing for fire season go to:

A good resource for monitoring wildland fire risk is the Provincial Fire Danger Rating Map which is updated twice daily:
