Make a Plan

An emergency plan will help you and your family know what to do in case of an emergency. It only takes 20 minutes to complete a personalized plan online. You can then print it out. Most of this information can be filled out on your own. You may need to get some information from the municipality.

To fill out your home emergency plan, you will need to think about:

• Safe exits from your home and neighbourhood
• Meeting places to reunite with family or roommates
• Designated person to pick up children should you be unavailable
• Contact persons close by and out of town
• Special health needs
• Place for your pet to stay
• Risks in your community
• Location of you fire extinguisher, water valve, electrical box, gas valve and floor drain
  
  

Keep this document in an easy to find, easy to remember place (for example, with your emergency kit). Photocopy this plan and keep it in your car and/or at your work.
