Be Better Prepared
®
!
Emergencies can happen at any time and
without warning and the County of Wellington’s
Emergency Management Division encourages you
to Be Better Prepared. With a little preparation,
you can respond quickly to help yourself and
others. Make a plan, build a kit, and stay informed.
MAKE A PLAN
Every household in Wellington County should
have an emergency plan. It will help you and your
family know what to do in case of an emergency.
It will take you only about 20 minutes and you can
create one online by visiting getprepared.ca and
clicking “Your Emergency Plan”.
Keep this document in an easy-to-find, easy-to-
remember place. Photocopy this plan and keep
it in your car and/or at work, and a copy close to
your phone. If you completed your plan online,
keep an electronic version on your computer.
BUILD A KIT
In an emergency, you will need
some basic supplies. Prepared to
be self-sufficient for at least 72
hours. You may have some of the
items already, such as food, water
and a battery-operated or crank
flashlight. The key is to make
sure they are organized and easy to find. Visit
getprepared.ca and click “Emergency Kits” for a
checklist of items.
STAY INFORMED
During an emergency, you should stay tuned to
local authoritative sources of information. Be sure
to have a portable, battery-operated or crank radio
in your emergency kit. Information can be
found on:
