Emergency Preparedness Week – Sunday, May 5th to Saturday, May 11th.

We have had a constant theme of being prepared and more educated about the risks we potentially, and often, encounter during natural disasters.

There is so much importance behind having a plan as well as building an emergency kit so that you are prepared for at the least, 72 hours. Self sufficiency is never overrated when it comes to being prepared for natural disasters! Residents who are interested in not only building their own emergency kits, but potentially winning a prize for doing so, the information below will help guide you, as well as inform you!

For more information on emergency preparedness, please visit: getprepared.gc.ca and or NBEMO (New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization: https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/emo.html

For all residents who do build their own emergency kit, we would love for you to send pictures of them to administration@hanwell.nb.ca, with the chance to win a prize!!
