EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS - A WEEK IN REVIEW

Emergency Preparedness Week 2016 will be remembered for the wildfires that ravaged Fort McMurray, Alberta.  At the time of writing this blog post, the wildfire has surpassed over 101,000 hectares and damage costs according to Bank of Montreal could reach $9 billion for insurers. The overwhelming speed of the fire and the severe impacts it has had to the city and its residents emphasize the need to be prepared and reinforces the message of EP Week – Plan. Prepare. Be Aware.
