Emergency plan For Natural Disasters!
Posted by yyu34 on April 1, 2008
Today I had a great chance to enroll in a short 3hr course on the self-preparedness for natural disasters. We can’t prevent disasters from happening, but we can prepare to avoid suffering, minimize damage and come through the recovery period as quickly as possible. The following list contains the natural risks and other hazards regularly monitored by the British Columbia Provincial Emergency Program.
-Avalanche
-Backcountry accident
-Drought
-Earthquake
-Extreme weather
-Flood
-Hazardous material spill
-Infectious disease outbreak
-Landslide
-Storm surge
-Tsunami
-Volcanic eruption
-Wildfire
Find out more about these hazards in British-Columbia and how you can prepare if they turn into an emergency. Click on the underlined list above or explore other emergencies in the right column. You may want to print some of them out and keep them with your emergency plan or in your emergency kit.
