Red Cross Onsite to Support Personal Preparedness

Are you and your family ready to face an emergency such as a blizzard, wildfire, or power outage? Do you have an emergency plan and an emergency kit to be self-sufficient for at least 3 days following a disaster?

Be ready, not reactive.

If you’re unsure how to answer those questions, we’re here to help! The Emergency Preparedness department is collaborating with our local Canadian Red Cross to promote personal preparedness to our Hospital workers and community members during Fire Prevention Week (October 5 to 11).

Canadian Red Cross volunteers have generously offered to provide:

  • an informational booth on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday (hours to vary); and
  • a “Be Ready” presentation in Room 2178 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday October 7.

Workers who stop by the booth or attend the “Be Ready” talk will be entered into a draw for a $25 gift card!
