Today is the United Nations’ International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction. This year’s theme, Resilience Starts at Home, is a reminder that there are steps we can all take to reduce risk and prepare our households for emergencies.

Start at home:
✔️Learn about the hazards that could affect where you live
✔️Know how you’ll receive emergency alerts and what action to take
✔️Make an emergency plan that considers everyone in your household
✔️Gather emergency supplies
✔️Think about family, friends or neighbours who may need additional support during an emergency

Start by understanding your risk. Explore the North Shore Disaster and Climate Risk and Resilience Assessment and interactive Storymap: https://nsem.ca/know-the-risks/understanding-risk-and-resilience/
