#EPWeek2026 is a timely reminder to be #PreparedTogether for
the changing seasons:
● In the spring, it’s important to have items like rain gear
and dry bags, while in the summer, add extra water and
sunscreen.
● Download the WeatherCAN app or monitor
weather.gc.ca for weather alerts.
● Consider household essentials you may need in a power
outage (for example, refrigerated medication or medical
equipment) and have a backup plan.
● Test your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. By
law, in Ontario smoke and CO detectors are required on
every level of your home and near each sleeping area.
When we are #PreparedTogether, we #ProtectOntario.
