Get Your Kit Together! Make a Plan, Be Prepared!

Share

Have you ever thought about what you would do if there was a zombie apocalypse? You may laugh now, but if it happens you’ll be happy you attended one of Victoria’s Emergency Preparedness Workshops.

You may even learn a thing or two on how to prepare for a real emergency.

Victoria has a one in three probability of a damaging earthquake in the next 50 years. It’s not a matter of “if” a damaging earthquake will happen, but when. Other types of disasters that may occur include winter storms, flooding, tsunamis, fires, and hazardous materials incidents.

Sign up for one of our free Emergency Preparedness Workshops this fall to learn what you need to do before zombies…or a real disaster actually happens, including how to safely store drinking water, put together emergency supply kits, and prepare a family reunification plan.

To register for an upcoming free workshop, call 250.920.3373 or e-mail emvic@victoria.ca
