Disaster Guides and Emergency Preparedness Pamphlets
Below you will find Adobe Acrobat (PDF) versions of Disaster Guides and Emergency Preparedness Pamphlets issued by The City of Vancouver, BC Provincial Emergency Preparedness and the various banches of the Canadian Government.
You can order Emergency Preparedness Guides free of charge from Public Safety and Preparedness Canada.
Since an Earthquake is the most likely major disaster we will experience in the Lower Mainland we will dedicate a section of this section to building a comprehensive library of emergency earthquake preparedness guides and pamphlets.
The Provincial Emergency Program (PEP) is a branch of the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, of the Government of British Columbia.
During large-scale emergencies, the emergency management structure is activated when a BC community or any significant infrastructure is threatened by an emergency or disaster which may overwhelm a local authority's ability to respond.
The Provincial Emergency Program's Mission is to enhance public safety and reduce property and economic loss from actual or imminent emergencies or disasters.
26 Weeks to Family Emergency Preparedness is just one of the many guides you can download from the PEP website.
