What does an emergency mean to you? It is a situation or impending situation that causes a danger of major proportions caused by the force of nature, a disease or health risk, an accident or an intentional or unintentional act that could result in serious harm to people and/or significant damage to property.

Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) is an annual event that will take place from May 2-8, 2021. The greatest risk for the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula in 2021 is the COVID-19 pandemic.

Everyone has a role to play in an emergency. Emergency Preparedness Week is an opportunity for you to take action to ensure you are prepared to protect yourself, your family, and your community during an emergency. This year, the theme is Emergency Preparedness: Be Ready for Anything. Preparedness is a challenge for us all. By breaking it down into simple steps and making preparedness a habit, we can be ready for anything.
