The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
Surrey
Cloverdale,
thank
you.
Mr
Speaker
emergency
preparedness
week
takes
place
annually
to
encourage
people
to
take
three
steps
to
better
prepare
for
an
emergency
know
the
hazards,
make
a
plan
and
get
an
emergency
kit
and
knowing
the
hazards
that
refers
to
the
conditions
where
you
live
and
the
types
of
emergencies
you
could
be
faced
with.
As
an
example,
those
living
in
the
interior
may
be
exposed
to
heat
fire
and
floods
more
often
than
people
on
the
west
coast
of
Vancouver
Island
we're
adding
tsunami
to
the
list
of
Hazards.
A
You
got
to
make
a
plan.
Emergencies
can
be
very
stressful.
An
emergency
plan
is
your
guidebook
on
how
to
you
and
your
people
you
live
with,
will
respond
to
more
calmly,
involve
everyone
in
your
home,
creating
a
plan,
so
each
person
knows
what
to
do
where
to
go
and
who
to
be
in
contact
with
practice.
Your
evacuation
plan
regularly
and,
of
course,
Mr
Speaker,
get
an
emergency
kit.
Emergencies
can
happen
at
any
time.
You
could
be
at
work
on
a
trip
or
at
home
it's
essential
to
be
prepared
for
whatever
and
wherever
you
may
be.
A
If
you
can
become
self-sufficient
for
three
days
or
more,
then
the
First
Responders,
who
are
out
there
doing
their
jobs,
can
direct
emergency
resources
to
those
who
are
in
Greater
need
an
honorable
speaker
following
an
emergency
made
to
either
to
stay
at
home
with
your
emergency
kit
or
leave
immediately
with
a
grab-and-go
bag.
If
you're
staying
at
home,
you'll
need
an
emergency
kit,
and
you
want
to
gather
enough
supplies
to
be
self-sufficient
for
two
weeks.
A
Make
sure
that
if
you
have
pets
that
you
take
them
into
consideration,
you
have
supplies
for
them
as
well.
Reevaluate
and
update
your
kit
annually
to
match
your
needs
as
they
change
make
a
grab
and
go
bag.
It's
a
good
idea
to
have
a
grab
and
we'll
go
back
at
your
home
in
your
car
and
your
vehicle
and
your
workplace.
A
A
grab
and
go
bag
may
contain
a
small
first
aid
kit,
flashlight
mobile
device,
charger,
backup,
battery
source
cash,
small
bills,
medications
and
a
three-day
supply
of
food
and
water
and
a
whistle
to
name
a
few.
Remember
if
you
fail
to
plan
you're
planning
to
fail,
so
everyone
please,
please
be
prepared.
