In the weeks leading up to Emergency Preparedness Week, NWT residents should work to ensure they are prepared for emergencies. In the NWT, this time of year preparedness is particularly important. With the spring melt and many people heading out on the land as weather improves there are increased risks relating to floods and being stranded in remote areas.
For more information on how people in the NWT can prepare for emergencies and details about Emergency Preparedness week visit www.maca.gov.nt.ca.
