The public is invited to the Be Ready – Emergency Preparedness Pop-Up starting tomorrow (Friday) at Pine Centre Mall.
This is in partnership between the City of Prince George, the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George, and the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation to reach out to the public focusing on community education.
Tanya Spooner, Emergency Program Manager with the City, said a lot of people don’t typically think of emergencies.
“The time to start preparing is now, and to stay prepared year round. Every opportunity we have to remind people of the things they can do to make themselves safer is a real opportunity for us to make a change in how our community will respond to a major event.”
Spooner says while everyone focuses on wildfires, there are still other emergencies that could occur, including flooding, ice jams, and hot weather in the summers, which all need preparation.
The pop up will have other groups giving emergency information, including the Council of Seniors, Health Emergency Management BC, United Way, Red Cross, and more.
The Pop-Up will be next to Sephora, and run from 10am to 8pm tomorrow (Friday), and Saturday, from 10am to 6pm.
