Emergency Preparedness Toolkit for Seniors

Emergency Preparedness Toolkit for Seniors

When the people living, working, and travelling in Alberta are prepared, they can better navigate disruptions, which allows them to protect themselves and their loved ones. At a minimum, individuals should be prepared to be self-sufficient for 72 hours as it can take several hours or even days for help to arrive.

We all have a responsibility to raise awareness about being prepared for disasters, emergencies and unexpected situations; together we can strengthen the call to action and inspire Albertan’s to become better prepared.

We all require similar items to be prepared for an emergency. However, each generation will need slightly different items than the others. For information regarding planning for the senior population, please see the Emergency Preparedness Toolkit for Seniors.
