Every year I get stumped on what to buy my dad for father’s day. This is the man who took care of me as a little girl and the man that kept me safe. So, I thought why not give him the gift of safety back.
Here are some ideas:
- first aid kit
- earthquake kit
- roadside assistance kit
Can you add anymore to this list?

If an emergency is serious enough, you may be asked to leave your home and go to a nearby evacuation center , like a school gym or community hall. Would you be ready?
If you have to evacuate leave immediately. TAKE your emergency survival kit with you. Don’t have one ? Call us and order your 1, 2 or 4 person home survival kit now! LISTEN to the radio and follow instructions from local emergency officials. If you are instructed to do so, shut off water, gas, and electricity. Make arrangements for pets. Wear clothes and shoes that are appropriate. Lock the house. Follow the routes specified by the officials. Do no take shortcuts. A shortcut could take you to a blocked or dangerous area. If you have time, leave a note telling others when you left and where you went. If you are evacuated, sign up with the registration center so you can be contacted or reunited with your family and loved ones.

CHECK YOUR HOME Check for damage to your home. Use a flashlight – do not use matches or turn on electrical switches if you suspect damage or smell gas. Check for fires, fire hazards or other household hazards. Sniff for gas leaks, starting at the water heater. If you smell gas, turn off the main valve, open windows and get everyone outside quickly. Shut off any other damaged utilities. Clean up spilled medicines and bleaches. Confine or secure your pets. Check on your neighbours, especially the elderly or people with disabilities.

Time from time we get asked what do I do DURING a disaster. This blog is some insight to basic procedures but more information should be south out from Emergency Preparedness Canada, your provincial territorial emergency measures organization or your local Red Cross.
DURING AN EARTHQUAKE If you are in a building STAY INSIDE. Stay away from windows. get under a heavy desk or table and hang on. If you can’t get under something strong, flatten yourself against an interior wall, protect your head and neck. If you are OUTSIDE go to an open area. Move away from buildings or any structure that can collapse. Stay away from power lines and downed electrical wires. If you are in the CAR stop the car and STAY in it. Avoid bridges, overpasses and underpasses, buildings or anything that could collapse on you or the car.
