Summary:

Dunbar Earthquake and Emergency Preparedness (DEEP) invites you to a 1-hour talk on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 at 7pm at the Dunbar Community Centre (room 202).

John Halldorson, a founding member of DEEP, will talk about individual, family and neighbourhood disaster preparedness.

After a disaster, when emergency services are overwhelmed, help from your neighbours may be the only help immediately available. You will receive information and a workbook to help you and your neighbours:

• identify the resources you have in your neighbourhood to respond in an effective and timely way after a disaster; and
• locate your neighbourhood’s gas meters so you can quickly shut off
• leaking gas to reduce the threat of fire engulfing your homes.

You will also learn the important items you should have in your Grab & Go kit.
