Preparing for an emergency

Dear Family,

Just thought I would forward this simple page about how a family can prepare for an emergency.

After the recent disaster in Haiti, I am reminded that disaster can strike any of us without warning. It is such a good idea to have a plan and a small supply of food and water on hand.

Seventy-two hours is the time it takes to mobilize emergency services.

Also of interest is the Canadian government's website about getting a 72 hour emergency plan.

Thinking of all of you.
