Emergency Preparedness Week continues in Lanark, and Leeds, and Beckwith Township is joining in by giving out advice to help you be ready for any emergency.
It’s important to prepare for unexpected situations, so consider adding items to your 72-hour emergency kit that you might not remember when you’re stressed.
Alongside the basics you always need, like food and first aid supplies, think about including things that match the season.
For example, as the weather changes, remember to pack sunscreen for sunny days and bug spray to keep insects away.
And when it’s cold, having extra hats and gloves can keep you warm. You can find a full list of what to include in your emergency kit at ontario.ca/BePrepared.
Stay safe and be prepared!
