EMO What's New

Additional Date for Emergency Preparedness Workshop
Posted: Mar 11, 2021
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. 

The sessions on March 4 and March 11 were  fully subscribed, so we have added another session with the EP coordinators on Thursday, March 25, 1:30 pm.

Please RSVP to info@emergencyoceanside.ca if you wish to participate on March 25. 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.
