Brossard, January 20, 2020 – In the wake of the power outage that plunged part of Montreal’s South Shore into darkness last weekend, the City of Brossard wishes to raise awareness of the importance of being prepared in the event of a disaster.
In an emergency situation, a person may be called upon to support himself or herself for up to 72 hours while waiting for essential services or assistance to be restored. In this case, it’s everyone’s responsibility to think ahead and provide for themselves and their families for a period of three days.
Home emergency kit
It’s important not to wait for an emergency situation such as a heavy snow or ice storm, a prolonged power outage or a hazardous materials spill before taking action. Preparing an emergency kit in the event of a disaster is a practical way to ensure the safety of yourself, your family and your property! A complete list of items is available at the emergency measure.
Automated alert system
The city provides the population with an automated alert system for emergency measures. Citizens are invited to register to receive essential information by phone, mobile, text message or e-mail. Hearing-impaired people can also receive messages. There’s no risk involved, register now: emergency measure
