Emergency Preparedness Week is May 5-11 and this year’s theme is using technology before, during and after emergencies. We are entering a time of year where climate-related events and emergencies can impact schools and communities across the province. We are expecting districts will need to respond to climate-related events this upcoming season. To help with response to flooding and wildfire related evacuations, we encourage you to use the Emergency Management Planning Guide for Schools. Planning can include working with your local regional health authority and using information from the BC Centre for Disease Control and Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness websites.
