3 Emergency Plan Prepared for the family on. Every Canadian household needs an emergency plan. The time you've invested in creating one will ensure that you and your household know what to do in case of an emergency. Once completed, make sure everyone in your home has read it. Review all eight sections, taking note of the safety tips and next steps that have been included. Don't forget that your family may not be together when a disaster occurs. Practice how to meet or contact one another and discuss what you would do in different situations. Keep this plan in an easy-to-find, easy-to-remember place (for example, with your emergency-kit). You may also want to make duplicate copies to keep in your car and/or at work. You should update your plan yearly. Next step... Keep copies of birth and marriage certificates, passports, licences, wills, land deeds and insurance in a safe place both inside and outside your home. For example, you might want to put them in a safety deposit box or give them to friends and family who live out of town. 1. Escape routes During an emergency, these escape routes will help you get out of your home quickly and join your family or roommates at your designated meeting place. If you are asked to evacuate your neighbourhood, use the route you've identified below or follow the directions of emergency officials. Emergency exits from home Escape route from neighbourhood
4 Meeting place outside the home Meeting place away from the home Safety tip: Make sure everyone in your home knows how to get out quickly. Practice at least once a year with everyone. 2. Children Ask your children's school or daycare about their emergency policies. Find out how they will communicate with families during an emergency. Also find out what type of authorization they require to release your children to a designated person, if you can't pick them up yourself. Make sure your children's school or daycare has updated contact information for parents, caregivers and designated people. Contact person 1 Contact person 2 Safety tip: Keep a copy of your children's contact information with you. 3. Special health needs Keeping an updated list of your medical information is an important part of being prepared for emergencies. You may also want to talk to your doctor about preparing a grab-and-go bag with a two-week supply of medications and medical supplies, if possible. Include prescriptions and medical documents. Remember that pharmacies may be closed for some time, even after an emergency is over. Next step... Establish a support network of friends, relatives, health-care providers, co-workers and neighbours who understand your special needs.
5 Health information: Medications and medical equipment Grab-and-go bag location 4. Pets The most important thing you can do to protect your pets is to take them with you if you need to evacuate. Since pets are not allowed in some public shelters or hotels, it's important to identify in advance where your pet will stay. Pet location Safety tip: Your pets should be wearing up-to-date identification and vaccination tags at all times. On their tag, include the phone number of a friend or relative outside your immediate area. If your pet is lost, you'll want to provide a number that will be answered even if you're out of your home.
6 5. Specific risks In addition to the general preparedness steps you've taken, it makes sense to plan for the kinds of emergencies are most likely to occur in your region. Regional risks and what to do if they occur 6. Emergency contacts Having all your important contact information in one place can be very helpful during an emergency. Make a photocopy of this list and leave a copy close to your telephone. If possible, program these numbers into your home phone and cell phone. Safety tip: Plan for each family member to call or the same out-of-town contact person in the event of an emergency. Teach children how to make this call, as well as how and when to dial (see section 8 of this plan). Local Emergency Numbers Fire, Police, and Ambulance: 911 Non-Emergency Numbers Fire Police Health Clinic Other Other
7 Out of town contact Name Home Phone Work Phone Cell Phone Home Address Family Contact #1 Name Home Phone Work Phone Cell Phone Home Address Family Contact #2 Name Home Phone Work Phone Cell Phone Home Address
8 Friends / Neighbours Name Home Phone Work Phone Cell Phone Home Address Family Doctor Patient s Name(s) Doctor s Name Phone Patient s Name(s) Doctor s Name Phone 7. Home Instructions Everyone in your home should know where to find the fire extinguisher and the emergency kit. Older children and adults should know how to turn off your home's water, electricity and gas. Next step... Make large, easy-to-see signs for water and gas shut-offs as well as for the breaker panel or fuse box. Emergency kit location: Fire extinguisher location: Water valve location and shut-off instructions:
9 Electrical company phone number: Call POWERON ( ), or *49376 (*HYDRO) from any cell phone Electrical box location: Gas company phone number: Gas valve location: Gas valve shut-off instructions (only shut off gas when authorities tell you to do so): 8. Emergency instructions During an emergency, you may not have time to make alternative plans. You may also not be aware of whom to listen to for instructions and that's why it is important to know who to call and what to do. Practice makes perfect. When to call Report a fire Report a crime Save a life For non-emergency calls, use the seven-digit numbers listed in your local phone book for police, fire and paramedic services (see section 6 of this plan). In case of major emergency Follow your emergency plan. Get your emergency kit. Make sure you are safe before assisting others. Listen to the radio or television for information from authorities. Local officials may advise you to stay where you are. Follow their instructions. Stay put until all is safe or until you are ordered to evacuate.
10 Taking shelter If you are advised by local officials to 'shelter-in-place', you must remain inside your home or office and protect yourself there. The following steps will help maximize your protection: Close and lock all windows and exterior doors. Turn off all fans, heating and air-conditioning systems. Close the fireplace damper. Get your emergency kit and make sure the radio is working. Go to an interior room that's above ground level (if possible, one without windows). In the case of a chemical threat, an above-ground location is preferable because some chemicals are heavier than air and may seep into basements even if the windows are closed. Using duct or other wide tape seal all cracks around the door and any vents into the room. Continue to monitor your radio or television until you are told all is safe or are advised to evacuate. Evacuation Orders Authorities will not ask you to leave your home unless they have reason to believe you are in danger. If you are ordered to evacuate, take your emergency kit, essential medications, copies of prescriptions and a cellular phone with you, if you have one. If you have time, call or your out-of-town contact. Tell them where you are going and when you expect to arrive. Once you are safe, let them know. Tell them if any family members have become separated. If you have time, leave a note telling others when you left and where you are. Shut off water and electricity if officials tell you to. Leave natural gas service 'on' unless officials tell you to turn it off. (If you turn off the gas, the gas company has to reconnect it. In a major emergency, it could take weeks for a professional to respond. You would be without gas for heating and cooking). Take pets with you. Lock your home. "In the event of an emergency, listen to authorities and follow their directions. Your cooperation will make it easier to help those in need."
11 Emergency Evacuation Information Stages of Evacuation As the authority to order an evacuation can rest with different levels of government (local, provincial, or federal), a three stage evacuation process has been developed and accepted by all levels of government. The process includes: STAGE 1 - Evacuation Alert Residents are advised of the potential need for evacuation. The alert highlights the nature of the danger and that evacuation may be required at any time. Information will be provided at that time on where to go if the evacuation is ordered. Residents should prepare to evacuate and gather personal supplies necessary for several days. STAGE 2 - Evacuation Order All persons in the affected area are ordered to leave the area and provided again with the information required. Once evacuated you are not permitted to return until the order has been rescinded. STAGE 3 - Evacuation Rescind All persons in the affected area are advised that the emergency is under control and the area has been declared habitable and the evacuation order has been rescinded. In the event of imminent danger to property or life due to fire or explosion, the local fire department may go straight to an Evacuation Order without an alert. This is called a Tactical Evacuation. Once you are evacuated from your property you will not be able to re-enter until the evacuation order is rescinded. Security will be provided to the evacuation area to ensure no one re-enters until the order is rescinded. Preparing for an Evacuation Create a Personal Evacuation Plan Have a designated meeting location outside of the hazard area. This is critical to determine who has safely evacuated the area. Once an Evacuation Alert or Evacuation Order has been given, the information included will include the location of the designated reception centre. Know several different escape routes from your home and community. The evacuation order as well, will outline the designated travel way for the particular event. Plan for your pets. If you have pets or livestock you should also have an evacuation plan for them; methods of transport, location to move them to, etc... Create a Family Communication Plan. This plan should designate an out-of-area friend or relative as a point of contact to act as a single source of communication among family members in case of separation. What is a Reception Centre? A Reception Centre is a designated site to receive evacuees. They register evacuees. This is critical even if you intend to leave the area. This gives us accurate information of numbers evacuated and serves as a point of contact for friends and family if they are trying to locate you. It also gives them information to contact you if required. They can give you information on lodging options. If you are evacuated from your primary residence you may be eligible for up to 72 hours paid lodging. They may provide urgent supplies to evacuees. Provides up to date information to the evacuees concerning the status of the event. Evacuation Notice Various methods will be used to advise residents in the event of issued evacuation alerts or orders. Door to Door - door to door canvassing will be performed by emergency personnel. These may be local firefighters, RCMP, or Search and Rescue personnel. Radio - local radio stations will broadcast alerts or orders. Social Media - the RDEK has a Facebook page that will also be used to give information to the public. To like our page, visit www. facebook.com/eastkootenay - the RDEK provides ongoing emergency information to everyone who has signed up for our list. To join, Loree Duczek at lduczek@rdek.bc.ca and include your community name in the subject line (i.e./ Jaffray Mail Group) info@rdek.bc.ca

How are you going to prepare? If an evacuation is anticipated and time allows this is a good checklist to follow to prepare you and your home for an impending wildfire. Inside the House: Shut all windows and doors, leaving them unlocked. Remove flammable window shades, curtains, and close metal shutters. Remove light weight curtains. Move flammable furniture to the centre of the room, away from windows and doors. Shut off your gas meter or propane. Turn off pilot lights. Leave your lights on so fire fighters can see your house under smokey conditions. Shut off the Air Conditioning. Outside the House: Gather up flammable items from the exterior of the house and bring them inside (furniture, toys, door mats, trash cans, etc.). Turn off propane tanks. Move BBQ appliances away from structures. Connect garden hoses to outside water valves or spigots for use by firefighters. Fill water buckets and place them around the house. Leave exterior lights on so your home is visible to firefighters in heavy smoke conditions or the darkness of night. Put an emergency supply kit in your vehicle. Back your car into your driveway with the vehicle loaded and all doors and windows closed. Carry your keys with you. Have a ladder available and place it at the corner of the house for firefighters to quickly access your roof. Seal attic and ground vents with pre-cut plywood or commercial seals. Patrol your property if you feel threatened. Check on neighbours and make sure they are preparing to leave Plastics (credit, debit) and Cash If you plan on moving RV trailers or boats, the Alert Stage is the time to do that. Once an Evacuation Order has been issued there is no time to allow that to happen. Animals: Locate your pets and keep them nearby. Prepare farm animals for transport and think about moving them to a safe location early info@rdek.bc.ca

15 Emergency Supply Kits We live in a world that's unpredictable. Without warning, we may have to make quick decisions that impact the health and safety of our loved ones. It's easy to assume that we'll be able to gather what we need when something unexpected happens. But few of us really know what will make the difference. Imagine that a wild fire begins to threaten your neighborhood in the middle of the night. You may have to leave quickly or wait until local authorities tell you where and when it's safe to go. In either situation, you want to be able to take care of your family for at least 72 hours. Having a well-stocked, portable, and easy-to-find emergency kit ensures that you have the basic supplies to keep you and your family safe. In an emergency, basic services we use every day may not work. For example, your water, electricity, gas and telephone service may not work and it may be impossible to access cash from a bank. When these services are not available, an emergency kit can provide the basic necessities. For example, we all need water. The rule of thumb is two litres, per person, per day for 72 hours, or three days. It's a good idea to use small bottles that can be carried easily. And of course, we also need food. Because your kit needs to be ready at all times, use food that won't spoil, like canned goods, energy bars or dried food that can be stored longer. If needed, baby formula and pet food may be a good idea. And remember a manual can opener to open those cans.) So now your kit has a good start: food and water. What else? Well, it's dark and there's no electricity. A flashlight and radio will be handy to show you where you're going and help you stay informed. These both need power, so pack extra batteries. Even better yet, buy the type that can be powered manually with a crank. Cordless home phones don't work when there's no electricity. Consider including a phone with a cord too. Of course, an emergency kit wouldn't be complete without a first-aid kit with the basics like bandages, antiseptics and pain relievers. With these items, food and water, flashlight and radio, and a first-aid kit, we've covered the basics. But there are some items that may not be so obvious. For example, it may be very difficult to get prescription medications in an emergency or even long afterward. Including enough medication for a couple of the weeks in the kit will help. While you're thinking about medical needs, consider what equipment may be needed to accommodate family members with special needs. As we mentioned, it may be difficult to get cash from banks so include small bills and change, as cash registers may not work. Lastly, keeping important documents like copies of birth certificates, wills, passports and insurance policies in your kit can make it easier to stay organized during an emergency. Remember to include a copy of your emergency plan, and contact information for friends and family who may be able to help. We all hope that emergencies don't occur and your kit goes unused but that's no reason to delay. It's your responsibility to start gathering supplies and start thinking about what your family will need for at least 72 hours in an emergency. It may look like a lot to do but you can print an emergency list checklist. And the next time you're running errands, pick up a few items for your kit or, buy a pre-packaged one. Having an emergency kit is an easy way to have more peace of mind in an unpredictable world. For more information, visit GetPrepared.ca, Kimberley.ca or drop in to City Hall for a handout.
