Emergency Preparedness Week has never been so popular as in the wake of a tsunami alert this January.
Due to popular demand we have added an additional two Disaster Recovery Information Sessions - March 7th & March 21st. Visit our calendar, pick your date and call to register, 250-592-9121. https://t.co/eJSaXOxLTz

May 7 to 11 is Emergency Preparedness Week and the Oak Bay Emergency Program planned sessions quickly filled as a wave of conversation followed the tsunami alert issued then ended along the coast. That prompted responses such as Oak Bay adding a second emergency preparedness session to an already-planned program.
