Here are some of the ways that we are engaging with our community:

1. Community Emergency Preparedness Workshops: We offer workshop / presentations throughout the year to help individuals and families prepare for emergencies. These workshops cover topics such as creating a family emergency plan, building an emergency kit, and understanding the risks in our region.
2. Community Outreach: We attend community events and meetings to provide information about emergency preparedness and to answer any questions that community members may have. We also work with Local schools, and community groups, providing education about emergency preparedness.
3. Social Media: We use social media platforms such as Facebook, and Twitter to share information and updates about emergencies and risk reduction. We encourage community members to follow us on social media to stay informed about emergencies in our region.
4. Emergency Notification: We use a mass notification system, Cowichan Alert, to send alerts and updates to residents during emergencies. Residents can sign up for this service and select the best ways they can be reached (text, landline phone call, email, mobile app, home application, etc.): SIGN UP NOW
