Be prepared

Everyone in Woodlandia is encouraged to be prepared — create a plan, assemble an emergency survival kit and stay informed about disasters.

1. Make a Plan

Learn what situations you need to plan for, such as where to go during an emergency evacuation or how to reach family members, both during and after a disaster. Get information about rebuilding life after disaster strikes.

2. Build a Kit

Every individual should have an emergency survival kit (including pets), with the supplies needed to survive without assistance, and take care of yourself and your family for at least three days.

3. Be Informed

Learn about emergencies as soon as possible:

There are two main ways that you can be informed about emergencies: sign up for Woodlandia’s Emergency Alerts (Coming Soon), and learn more about the hazards you can face and how you can be prepared for them.

During an emergency, you should stay tuned to local news channels. Be sure to have a portable, battery-operated or crank radio in your survival kit in case of power outages.

Woodlandia’s Hazards

Different hazards require a different approach for being prepared and knowing how to protect yourself and your family. Learn more about Ontario’s hazards, so you can better prepare for them and know what to do to protect yourself.
