We are building a plan to help our community prepare for more frequent and intense natural hazards.
Extreme heat, drought, wildfires, severe storms, heavy rainfall and flooding are becoming more common. These natural hazards have far-reaching impacts, like smoke affecting air quality.
Natural hazards can damage our buildings, roads and crops and affect our physical and mental health. We can take action to help protect the people and places we care about.
What can you do right now?
- Sign up for Saanich Peninsula Alert, so that you get alerts to your phone if there is a local emergency.
- Take small steps to prepare, like creating an emergency plan and kit.
- Learn more about seasonal changes, like extreme heat, and how to take care of yourself and your loved ones.
