Norfolk County is joining communities across Canada in recognizing Emergency Preparedness (EP) Week, from May 4 to 10, 2025. This year’s theme, “Plan for every season,” reminds residents that emergencies can strike at any time of year — and planning ahead can save lives.
EP Week encourages residents to:
- Know the risks: Understand the emergencies most likely to affect our area, such as floods, storms, or power outages.
- Make a plan: Know how to communicate and where to meet in case of separation.
- Build a kit: Include essentials like water, food, medications, flashlights, and first aid.
Even small actions can make a big difference. Learn more about preparing your household at norfolkcounty.ca/BePrepared.
