Test your safety smarts: storm and emergency prep
Spokesperson Dave packs a homemade emergency kit with essential items designed to keep him safe for up to 72 hours.
It may not take particularly strong winds to cause power outages this fall and winter, as trees weakened by a near-record dry season in B.C. are at great risk of losing limbs or being toppled during storms.
And that means that we should be prepared for the power to go out. But how much do you know about staying safe during outages and other emergencies?
Well, here’s your chance to test that knowledge. Take our quiz to brush up on your storm smarts, and be entered for a chance to win an emergency kit and $100 gift card for groceries to help stock it with non-perishable goods and water.
