Alberta’s campaign theme is: Build Preparedness Habits.
EP Week is a reminder that preparedness isn’t just about being ready for the next big disaster. It’s about making preparedness a part of your regular routine so you are better able to navigate disruptions, big or small.
The biggest reasons people are not prepared for emergencies are:
- lack of information
- lack of money
- procrastination or delay taking action

Emergency alert tests
The test alert happens twice a year. Use the test alert to teach preparedness to youth by downloading the Alberta Emergency Test Alert Toolkit school resource guide.
- The toolkit has a few short lessons for your classroom on the day of the test alert.
- This toolkit – also in French – helps teachers use the test alert to prompt preparedness actions when the risk is low.
- Schools, youth and their households can take steps to prepare so they are ready when the risk is high.
