Emergency preparedness is a shared responsibility that begins with a plan and being prepared to look after yourself,
your family and your pets for a minimum of one week. We encourage residents to join emergency preparedness
coordinators from Parksville and Qualicum Beach for a Zoom workshop which will help better prepare yourself, your
family and your business in the event of an emergency or disaster incident.
With the first session on March 4 now fully subscribed, we have added another session with the EP coordinators on Thursday, March 11, 1:30 pm.
Please RSVP to
info@emergencyoceanside.ca if you wish to participate on March 11. We will confirm your space and
then a few days before the meeting, will send Zoom instructions by email. The meeting is a closed event; however,
your screen name will be visible to the other participants.
The ongoing pandemic reminds us of the importance of personal preparedness and that having a plan is critical to
protect ourselves and our families. While we continue to physically distance and spend more time at home, there's an
opportunity to build emergency preparedness plans to fit our individual personal needs. We hope this workshop will
help raise awareness and offer information and tips to help prepare businesses, individuals and families for the
possibility of an emergency.
