If there is an extreme fire hazard, or other emergency in Alberta are you prepared?
Actions for You

2. Have a 72-Hour Emergency Kit. Have a 72-hour emergency kit prepared in case it is needed. Information on what should be included in your emergency kit is located on our website under Emergency Preparedness > Build Yourself a 73-Hour Emergency Kit, or by clicking here.
