Emergency Preparedness

Penticton residents should prepare for emergencies such as wildfires, landslides and flooding, especially if you live on the outskirts of the city or near waterways. There are many steps we can take to plan ahead, starting with having a household plan, basic emergency kit and considering all the people and animals on your property. Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours.
