Editorial — Are you prepared?

May 12, 2016   ·   0 Comments

It’s ironic that Emergency Preparedness Week took place earlier this month.
Had it fallen in June instead, we suspect a lot of people would have paid more heed to the message; namely of making sure you and your family are ready for an emergency.
Statistics Canada released the results of a survey in 2014 that revealed that only about 47 per cent of Canadians possess an emergency survival kit. We have to wonder how many in the remaining 53 per cent live in Fort McMurray, Alberta.
True, a disaster of that nature is not likely to his this area, but we have seen enough evidence in the last couple of years, through floods and ice storms, that we in Caledon are not immune from Nature’s wrath.
We should all devote some time to figuring out a plan to deal with such emergencies here, if they should arise.
Because we all know they can happen.
