WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
Emergency kits can make a critical difference in the first hours of a disaster.
During wildfires, floods, and other emergencies, families may need to evacuate quickly with little time to gather essential supplies. For many First Nations communities, particularly those in remote or rural areas, access to emergency resources and support services can be limited.Service disruptions including power, water, and transportation, can happen quickly, increasing the need for households to be prepared in advance. Through this initiative, FNESS works directly with First Nations communities to support emergency preparedness by helping provide 72-hour emergency kits that strengthen safety and readiness during the most critical moments.
Priority is placed on supporting Elders, individuals with disabilities, and households in higher-risk areas, helping ensure those most vulnerable are better equipped to respond safely during emergencies.
