Emergency Preparedness Week is May 2 to 8, 2021. This year’s theme for Emergency Preparedness Week is Emergency Preparedness: Be Ready for Anything. Carleton University’s Emergency Management and Continuity of Operations Team encourages all of our community members to be “CU Ready” and take three important steps to be prepared for emergencies:

  • BE INFORMED: Identify the risks and hazards in the area
  • HAVE A PLAN: Know what to do, where to go, and who to contact
  • BUILD A KIT: Have an emergency kit or go-bag ready with essentials

For hazard-specific safety tips, fillable plan templates, and additional information on how you can be prepared for emergencies, visit our Emergency Management CU Ready page or email us at emco@carleton.ca.
