The City of Surrey Fire Services is hosting three free courses during Emergency Preparedness Week to help residents be confident they’re ready if disaster strikes.
The city says the workshops will cover how to “minimize hazards in your home, find supplies you need, react during and after an emergency and evacuate or (create a) shelter-in-place.”
Even though we don’t live beside an active volcano, a significant emergency can happen here in #SurreyBC. Get prepared. https://t.co/rxgiknrkXe
