As climate emergencies like floods, heat waves and storms become more frequent and severe, one thing has become clear: in emergency situations, we can’t rely on our governments and services to respond immediately. Most governments state that people should be prepared to care for themselves and their families for 72 hours after an emergency strikes.
But emergency preparedness isn’t just about protecting our individual households. It’s about getting to know your neighbours and making a plan to work together so everyone is cared for and no one is left behind.
