Preparing for disaster
The Department of Health Promotion and Protection recommends that you prepare for emergencies at work and at home. Emergencies can include hurricanes, floods, winter storms and power outages.
- Your home should be stocked with a three-day supply of water, canned and dried foods and prescription medicines as well as emergency supplies such as flashlights, a battery-operated or hand-crank radio, batteries, a first-aid kit and a thermometer.
- In the event of an emergency, CBC will be an emergency response network. By watching or listening to CBC, you will know what is happening in your area.
- More information on emergency plans and emergency supply kits is available from the Nova Scotia Emergency Management Office.
