Protective Services

Upon threat of danger, because of flooding, forest fire or other emergencies, be prepared to be instructed by authorities to evacuate with as little as 2 hours notice. An Advisory Evacuation does not require you to evacuate your home, simply be prepared for a possible Mandatory Evacuation notice. Start to gather your evacuation kit and go over your family’s emergency plan.

In an event of a mandatory evacuation, it is important to do so immediately. If a large number of homes are affected, authorities will likely establish a reception center. You may choose to stay at the reception center or seek shelter elsewhere. Ensure you register all members of your group in person at the reception centre.

• Listen to the local radio and follow instructions
• Shut off Panel Box if instructed to do so
• Take the Evacuation Kit with you
• Ensure your pets are cared for
• Leave your home unlocked and place an evacuation notice on the front door
• Register at the reception center

Store your evacuation kit in waterproof and easy to carry container that is accessible to all members of the family.

• Prescription and non-prescription medications
• Cash, in small denominations
• Non-perishable food
• Non-electric can opener
• Bottled water
• Battery-powered radio
• Flashlights
• Extra batteries
• Extra clothes
• Important documents
• First aid kit
• Special needs items – baby, elderly, disabled, pets

In the event of a hazardous chemical release in your community, you may be instructed by the authorities to “shelter-in-place”. Seek immediate shelter where you are, whether at home, work or school, in most cases shelter is only required for a few hours.

• GO INSIDE
• Close all windows and doors and stay on the ground level floor, not in the basement
• Turn off furnace, air conditioner and exhaust fans
• Seal an inside room with damp towels at the base of the door
• Listen to local radio for further instructions
• Keep phone lines free so we can contact you
