Right now, the Emergency Management Group has been monitoring the spring freshet conditions as they typically see some sort of high-water event in late March or early April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of Environment Canada &amp; Climate Change and the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry, Town staff have been monitoring and preparing for any conditions that could lead to potential flooding or high-water events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emergency preparedness is a shared responsibility for members of the community as well as the emergency workers who assist. Experience has shown that individual preparedness goes a long way to help people cope better during and after a major disaster. By taking a few simple steps, you can become better prepared to face a range of emergencies \u2013 anytime, anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Know the risks<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; Although the consequences of disasters can be similar, knowing the risks specific to our community and our region can help you better prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make a plan<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; It will help you and your family know what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Build a kit<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; During an emergency, we will all need some basic supplies.
