BRUCE PENNINSULA MEDIA RELEASES DETACHMENT COMMANDER: S/SGT BRAD FISHLEIGH (519) 534-1323 CALL 1-888-310-1122 FOR POLICE	KEEPING YOU INFORMED KEEPING YOU SAFE
FROM: BRUCE PENINSULA DETACHMENT RELEASE: 05 MAY 08 DETACHMENT COMMANDER: S/SGT. BRAD FISHLEIGH ARE YOU PREPARED EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS WEEK runs from May 4^th to 10^th. This week has been set aside to remind the public that Ontario’s emergency planning is based on the expectation that residents should be able to take care of their own basic needs for the first 72 hours after an emergency. Bruce Peninsula O.P.P. would ask residents the following. Do you have enough food and water to last 3 days? If electrical power is lost will your water supply still work? If electrical power is lost can you still heat your home? Do you have somewhere to go, friends or family with a reliable heat source during winter months? During an emergency, resources from many locations across Ontario or even from out of province may be brought in to assist. Unfortunately it takes time to bring this aid into the area and during those first 72 hours after an event, it is crucial that people are prepared to take care of themselves. Take time this week to prepare your emergency kit. Fresh batteries for flashlights and a portable radio. Canned and dry goods that would get you through those first few days. We always hope that we never have a major event that will seriously impact us but it never hurts to “BE PREPARED.” -30-
