Are You Prepared for
the “Big One"?

Earthquake preparedness is a hot
topic lately with everyone exchang-
ing tips about survival-kit contents
and household changes to earth-
quake-proof the home.

Experts tell us we should be
prepared to look after ourselves for
the first 72 hours following a major
disaster. Disruptions can be ex-
pected in services such as electricity,
natural gas, phone, water and sewer.
Travelling around the North Shore
and to Vancouver may be difficult,
since some of our bridges will
probably be out of service.

We are advised to be prepared by
developing a family plan so every-
one knows what to do and where to
go in an emergency.

There are many courses and much
information available to help you set
up your own family plan. The North
and West Vancouver Emergency
Program has prepared a comprehen-
sive pamphlet “Prepare now for an
Earthquake in B.C.” Included are
instructions on what to do before,
during and after a quake.

If you would like one of these
pamphlets or a more comprehensive
list of preparedness instructions, call
Health Services at loc. 2964.

To help prepare home first aid
and survival kits, we also have lists
of articles that should be included. If
anyone is interested in purchasing a
preparedness kit, the Product
Distribution Centre is offering a
Basic Emergency Kit, Basic First Aid
Kit and an Emergency Backpack for
employee purchase. Anyone inter-
ested in a price list and list of con-
tents may call Health Services, loc.
2964.

More information about earth-
quakes is in the Metro Vancouver
Phone Book, page 28.
