How Prepared Are You for Emergencies in Calgary?
Official title: CEMA community survey
Calgary's Emergency Management Agency wants to know how ready you are for disasters like floods, fires, or power outages. Your answers will shape the Ready Calgary program, which helps residents prepare for emergencies. The survey is anonymous and available in 8 languages.
Why This Matters
Ever wonder what you'd do if a flood hit your neighbourhood? Or if the power went out for days? This survey helps Calgary understand where residents need more support. Your input could mean better emergency alerts, clearer evacuation plans, or more resources for vulnerable neighbours.
What Could Change
The Ready Calgary program could be redesigned based on what residents say they need. That might mean new emergency preparedness workshops, translated materials in more languages, or targeted outreach to seniors and people with disabilities.
