Emergency Preparedness Week 2026

May 3 - 9, 2026

Are you prepared in the event of an emergency?

Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) is a national awareness initiative and an opportunity for you to take action to ensure you're prepared to protect yourself, your family and your community during an emergency. This year, the theme is Be Prepared. Know Your Risks. We encourage you to understand the risks in your area and learn what actions you can take to protect yourself and your household.

We encourage you to visit the Government of Canada's Get Prepared website at https://www.getprepared.gc.ca.

The City has compiled a booklet specific to Portage la Prairie to help you and your family if disaster strikes. Pick up your FREE copy at the Firehall Monday to Friday from 8:30 am-4:30 pm or view it online here Citizens' Emergency Booklet.
