What Community Readiness Looks Like

Community readiness is built through shared effort—when residents, organizations, and businesses take simple steps to prepare, support one another, and stay connected during disruptions.

  • Community groups helping share trusted preparedness information with their members and networks
  • Service clubs and organizations hosting preparedness talks or information sessions
  • Households preparing to be self-sufficient for at least 4 days during service disruptions
  • Residents and volunteers building skills through first aid and emergency response training
  • Service clubs and community groups training volunteers to support local response during emergencies
  • Neighbours checking in on vulnerable residents during disruptions
  • Volunteers supporting community readiness events and preparedness initiatives
  • Essential services and businesses prepared for power and communication outages and supply chain disruptions
