Would you know what to do if an emergency happened in Elkford, or any other community in the region?

District of Elkford Mayor Steve Fairbairn is encouraging residents to make an emergency and evacuation plan in the event a serious incident occurs in or near the district, with the ongoing evacuation and crisis in the Summerland area creating a daily reminder for British Columbians of such a now necessary fact of life in the province.

Being prepared starts with having a plan. The District of Elkford’s Emergency Preparedness webpage provides valuable information to help you and your family prepare before an emergency occurs, including:

• Creating a household emergency plan;
• Building an emergency kit;
• Staying informed during an emergency;
• Understanding evacuation alerts and orders.

Watch the Mayor’s message on emergency preparedness and learn why planning ahead is so important.

“A few minutes of preparation today can make all the difference tomorrow. Let’s work together to keep Elkford safe, informed, and ready,” the district stated on social media.
