Weekly Emergency Tip: Making a household emergency plan
A household emergency plan is an important part of how you and your family will respond after a disaster. Your plan will help you gather the relevant information and documents you will need and allow you to reconnect with loved ones should you be apart during the event.
Make sure to carry a copy of your plan with you, and practice it on a regular basis.
For more information about making a plan, visit the UBC Emergency Preparedness website or Government of BC’s website
