The Windsor Fire and Rescue Service wants to know if residents are ready to deal with a potential emergency.
"If an emergency happens in your community or neighborhood, it may take emergency workers some time to reach you," says Chief Stephen Laforet. "And you should be prepared to take care of yourself and your family for a minimum of 72 hours."
The local fire department is unveiling a new Emergency Preparedness Guide, as it celebrates Emergency Preparedness Week.
Laforet says it contains three basic steps that will help Windsor residents and their loved ones be prepared during an emergency: make a plan, build a kit, and stay informed.
