As seasons change we should always Be Prepared here are some tips for Utility outages

Utility outages️ 🔌

Utility outages can happen for many reasons, including severe weather. Power outages can affect many of our daily routines, including communication networks and access to services, like online banking.

While we can't predict when an outage will occur, taking a few simple preparedness steps can help you stay safe, connected, and comfortable until services are restored.

Back to school means busy roads and excited kids! Slow down, stay alert, obey school-zone speed limits, and watch for children crossing the road.

When a school bus has its red lights flashing, stop and never pass—children may be crossing from either direction. 🚌🎒

Let’s work together to keep our students safe!

I’ve been a firefighter for many years, and time and time again, it reminds me just how powerful a community can be when it comes together in moments of need. There is nothing more meaningful than seeing people step up to ensure the safety of others and to support those who need help the most.
Last night, when the tornado touched down in the Village of Girouxville, we witnessed exactly that. Neighbours helping neighbours, friends, families, and even strangers coming together without hesitation—offering support, lending a hand, and looking out for one another. It’s in moments like these that true character and compassion shine through.
I want to personally thank each and every one of you who stepped up to help. Your efforts, your kindness, and your willingness to support others did not go unnoticed. It was deeply needed and profoundly appreciated.
This is what community is all about.

A fire advisory is now in effect for the Peace River Forest Area and MD of Smoky River

The continued warm temperatures create conditions where wildfires can start easily and spread quickly. Be cautious when spending time outdoors and avoid activities that could potentially spark a wildfire.

Under this advisory:
• Existing fire permits are valid. Permit holders must follow all safe burning conditions outlined on the permit.
• New fire permits will be issued on a case-by-case basis.
• Safe campfires are allowed.

Prohibited:
• Any burning without a valid fire permit is prohibited, except for campfires.

When operating machinery like off-highway vehicles or farm equipment, always carry firefighting tools such as a shovel, fire extinguisher and a pail.

Never leave a campfire unattended, and make sure it is fully extinguished by soaking it, stirring it, and soaking it again.

Stay informed of fire restrictions and fire bans in your area by checking www.albertafirebans.ca.

If you see a wildfire, report it immediately by calling 310-FIRE.

Todat at 1:55 p.m., Alberta Emergency Alert will issue a test message across Alberta through TV, radio, and directly to compatible and connected smartphones. The test is more than a check of the National Alerting system, it is an opportunity for all of us to test our own readiness to respond.

When you receive the alert, take a moment to reflect on how prepared you would have been if that alert were real. Start a conversation with your household, neighbours, friends, and family about where they were when the alert went off and how ready they would have been.

Having a conversation about preparedness is one step to becoming more prepared and helping others be prepared too. Learn how you can use emergency alerts to strengthen your preparedness.
