SJA Emergency Preparedness Program
If an emergency happens in our community, it may take first responders some time to get to you as they help those in desperate need. By taking a few simple steps today, we can all become better prepared to face a range of emergencies – anytime, anywhere and to cope on our own for at least the first 72 hours of an emergency.

St. John Ambulance plays a vital role in the critical areas of emergency preparedness and response across Canada. When a natural or human disaster strikes, St. John Ambulance volunteer Medical First Responders are there with advanced first aid and life-saving skills, experience and leadership.

	Know the risks. Knowing the risks specific to our community and our region can help us better prepare.
	Make a plan. Practice what to do in different emergency situations.
	Buy a kit. During an emergency, we will all need some basic supplies. Prepare your own kit or purchase some of the SJA Ready kits.

Most disasters are beyond our control. But with a little planning and preparation, there are ways we can minimize the impact on ourselves, our families and at the workplace.
