Toolkit Resources

In a large emergency such as earthquakes or wildfires or other disasters there could be delays in emergency personnel reaching you. Power, infrastructure, and essential services could be disrupted for many days or weeks. This guide, prepared by the BC government and Disability Alliance BC, takes into account the unique emergency considerations for people with disabilities. It’s important for everyone to be prepared by knowing the risks in their community, having a household plan and having an emergency kit. Having a disability means you likely need to consider preparedness actions above and beyond the “basics”.
