Workshop: Emergency Waste Management After a Disaster 🚽

How Will You Manage Without Plumbing After a Disaster?

Dunbar Earthquake and Emergency Preparedness (DEEP) invites you to a 1.5-hour workshop on an important, yet often overlooked, aspect of disaster preparedness—creating a safe and effective waste management system when plumbing fails.

 Date: Saturday, March 21, 2026
Time: 10:30 AM -12:00
 Location: Dunbar Community Centre (Room 212), 4747 Dunbar Street

A major regional earthquake could severely damage our water and sewer systems, leaving communities without working toilets and plumbing for weeks or months. This workshop tackles the practical steps necessary to manage waste safely and hygienically when regular waste disposal systems are down.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ How to set up a sanitation plan for your home and neighbourhood
✅ Easy-to-find materials for safe waste disposal and handwashing stations
✅ How to create a backup system now so you’re prepared if disaster strikes

This workshop will equip you with practical skills to maintain hygiene and keep your household and community safe.

Registration is required as seating is limited.

We look forward to seeing you there. If this event books up, please consider joining our mailing list and keep an eye on our website to find out about our next events.
