Preparing for an Emergency
The City of Kingston and key stakeholder groups/agencies plan to assist or give advice to residents facing expected emergencies. Personal preparedness is important - plan ahead.
The first thing to do to get ready is to know what could go wrong in Kingston.
Are you ready for an emergency?
Learn what to do before, during and after an emergency by using our Emergency Preparedness Guide. It is also available in French.
Be ready self-sustain you and your family and pets for at least 72 hours in case of an emergency. Have an emergency kit for everyone in your home to leave quickly if needed.
