Resident Preparedness
Residents play a key role in community safety. You can help by:
- Preparing a 72-hour emergency kit for your household.
- Signing up for local emergency alerts through your municipality.
- Knowing your local evacuation routes and emergency contacts.
- Staying informed through official municipal websites and Alberta Emergency Alerts.
- Sign up for Alert Ready
- Alert Ready is Canada’s national alerting system. It automatically sends life-saving emergency alerts through television, radio, and compatible mobile devices.
- Check if your cell phone is compatible with Alert Ready.
- Check Alberta Emergency Alerts
