The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed May 3-9, 2026, as Emergency Preparedness Week in the province.
The 2026 theme, "Be prepared. Know your risks" is a call to action - urging everyone to spot the risks around them, get informed and take steps to protect themselves and the people they care about.
"Emergency Preparedness Week is a time to build your family's emergency plan and create a 72-hour kit for both your home and vehicle," Community Safety Minister Michael Weger said. "Ensure you are ready for unexpected situations and protect the safety and well-being of you and your loved ones. It's beneficial to take simple, proactive steps today to protect you and your family in the future."
The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) encourages residents to be ready for the unexpected. Emergencies can take many forms, so thinking ahead and understanding different scenarios makes all the difference. Knowing what to do - and how to prepare - puts you one step ahead when it matters most.
