Dunbar Earthquake and Emergency Preparedness (DEEP) invites you to its first Annual General Meeting with a special guest speaker. The business portion of the meeting will be very brief, and will be followed by a talk on household fire preparedness by local Emergency Preparedness expert Jackie Kloosterboer.

Jackie’s topic is Fire Awareness: Prevention Tips and Preparing a Household Response Plan. The recent L.A. fires and last summer’s Dunbar fire highlighted our community’s vulnerability to a devastating fire and our need to be ready for an emergency evacuation.

Jackie brings to this topic extensive experience in emergency preparedness training and supporting people who have been displaced from their homes because of fire or other disasters. She has seen first hand the importance of being prepared, and will share with us the basic steps we can all take to protect our families and our homes.

Please register for this in-person talk [...]. Seating will be limited.

Where: Dunbar Community Centre 4747 Dunbar St, Vancouver, BC, V6S 2H2

Dunbar Earthquake and Emergency Preparedness (DEEP) invites you to a 1-hour talk on Wednesday, February 5, 2025 at 7pm at the Dunbar Community Centre (room 202). John Halldorson, a founding member of DEEP, will talk about individual, family and neighbourhood disaster preparedness.

After a disaster, when emergency services are overwhelmed, help from your neighbours may be the only help immediately available. You will receive information and a workbook to help you and your neighbours:

• identify the resources you have in your neighbourhood to respond in an effective and timely way after a disaster; and
• locate your neighbourhood’s gas meters so you can quickly shut off leaking gas to reduce the threat of fire engulfing your homes.

You will also learn the important items you should have in your Grab & Go kit.
