Summer brings with it a heightened risk of natural disasters, and climate change has further increased this risk. It is crucial for individuals and communities to be prepared and vigilant during the summer months, implementing safety measures and disaster readiness plans to mitigate the impact of these natural disasters.
In preparation for the upcoming season, we have updated our web resources. This information will assist members in preparing for a natural disaster, as well as comprehensive resources that may be required in the event of an emergency.
You will find resources that are specific to:
- Preparing for an emergency
