Emergency Preparedness Week in Ontario kicks off today. The North Grenville Fire Service is reminding residents to be prepared for 72 hours in the event of an emergency. Fire Chief John Okum says putting together an emergency kit is key.
A new app – Alert Ready – issues emergency alerts directly to your phone. Okum says the new system is simple.
Juice FM will be giving away 72-hour emergency kits all week. For more information on how to put together a kit, visit emergencymanagementontario.ca or contact the fire service directly by calling 613-258-2438.
