| Get a 72-Hour Emergency Kit |
|
Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours in an emergency. During an emergency, we may need to get by without power or tap water. We will all need some basic supplies. Please take a look at what to put in your 72 Hour Emergency Kit. |
| Be Informed |
|
Be Informed During an emergency, you should stay tuned to local news channels, radio, Greater Napanee’s social media feeds and www.greaternapanee.com. Sign up for Ontario’s emergency alerts! Red Alerts and Emergency Advisories quickly deliver information on threats or emergencies that have occurred via email or text message, and include information on how to keep you and your family safe! Emergency Alerts will automatically notify on radio, television and cell phone devices for events like natural disasters, extreme weather and terrorist attacks. When these messages are sent they are urgent, life-threatening, and the requirement for you is to take action!
