Storm season is coming, and being prepared makes a big difference. When we can look after ourselves and help our neighbours, our whole community becomes stronger. Take 20 minutes to make an emergency plan and keep it somewhere easy to find. An emergency plan helps you know what to do if something unexpected happens. Having a plan and an emergency kit is one of the best ways to protect your family and pets. Getting your kids involved in making an emergency plan helps everyone feel more prepared. You can make a plan here: https://www.lunenburgremo.ca/plan.html Simple storm prep tips: Charge phones, batteries, and other devices when a storm is expected, and write down important phone numbers and keep them handy.
