Emergency Preparedness Week Tip:

Try a 'what if' dinner conversation: 'What if the power went out right now? What if we heard a SaskAlert tone? What would we do first?' Kids learn best in calm moments — not during the emergency itself.

Keep Preparing!

🌪️ It’s Emergency Preparedness Week! Are you Tornado & Storm Ready?

Severe weather can happen fast. Take a few minutes today to:
✔️ Know your safe place (basement or interior room, away from windows)
✔️ Build or refresh your emergency kit (water, flashlight, batteries, first aid)
✔️ Stay informed with weather alerts and local updates
✔️ Make a family plan so everyone knows what to do

Being prepared isn’t complicated, but it can make all the difference. Stay safe and ready this storm season!

SASKATCHEWAN FLOODS: 15 states of emergency currently declared in Saskatchewan!

This week is emergency preparedness week! Our weather, our landscape, and the world around us is unpredictable, but what you can do to help yourself is be prepared

DAY 3: Build Your 72-Hour Kit 🎒
Public Safety Canada is clear: every household should be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours. As this week on the prairies tells a very real story, help may be delayed in arriving due to severe flooding and impassible roads, or for a host of various other reasons.

Day 2 of Emergency Preparedness Week! 📋

Quick question: Do you and your family know what to do if there was imminent danger of a tornado going through Swift Current?

If you hesitated — this post is for you.

A household emergency plan doesn't have to be complicated. It just has to exist. In Swift Current, your should plan for:

🌪️ Where do you shelter for a tornado? (Lowest floor, interior room, away from windows)
🚗 When it is safe to travel, what are your TWO evacuation routes out of the city?
📞 Do you have an out of city or out of province contact?
🏫 What's your protocol if the kids are at school when an emergency hits?
🏠 Where is your family meeting spot if you can't reach each other?
🔒 Do you know how to shut of your house gas and water?

Write it. Print it. Put it on the fridge. Practice it once a year.

Today, on the National Day of Mourning, we take time to remember the workers who were injured or lost their lives because of their work.

🕊️ In 2024, there were 27 workplace fatalities in our province — lives lost to both traumatic incidents and occupational disease. Each year, about 2,400 workers also suffer serious injuries.

We honour those workers by renewing our commitment to safe workplaces and by looking out for one another, so everyone can go home safely to their families. 🤍
