Preparedness Campaign Launches Region Wide!
Whether you live in Upper Cutbank, Prespatou, Tomslake or Pink Mountain there will be many opportunities to access information to help you and your family become more prepared in 2011. We can’t always predict when a disaster will strike, but we can be more prepared for when it does.
The Peace River Regional District, in cooperation with our local municipalities, is proud to be launching a region wide education campaign for 2011.Throughout the year there will be lots of fun and interactive ways for individuals and families to become more prepared.
Monthly Articles - Emergency planners from our region will bring you information on how to plan and prepare for emergencies as well as tips on where to find more information throughout our communities in a monthly article the Northeast News as well as articles in the Alaska Highway News, Dawson Creek Daily News, the Northerner and the Mirror throughout May.
Interactive Kits - Keep an eye out for the interactive home emergency kits sponsored by the Taylor Industrial Mutual Aid Group at local community events, tradeshows, in schools and businesses.
Radio Contests - In March & April many listeners became the "Smartest Person in the Peace” on Energy FM. During Emergency Preparedness week (the first week in May) Peace FM will run a morning contest that will also share valuable information and give away 72 hour emergency kits sponsored by TransCanada Pipeline.
Social Media- In May the Peace River Regional District launched its Facebook page where you can receive tips and ideas on emergency preparedness. In June the PRRD will sponsor a “This Is My Plan” Video contest, people can download their video of their Emergency Plan or the building of their emergency kits onto the PRRD Facebook page and YouTube to win prizes.
