Learn to prepare for emergency, AHS free workshop

EDMONTON — For Emergency Preparedness week this May and in anticipation of the wildfire season soon upon us, Alberta Health Services’ Addiction and Mental Health Team invite Albertans to participate in Emergency Preparedness, or E-Prep. It’s an online workshop that shares ways to be emotionally, socially, and practically prepared for a disaster or an emergency.

In this interactive and educational webinar, participants are guided through a step-by-step approach to create a personalized emergency preparedness kit while focusing on emotional and social wellness. The program is for adults interested in learning skills to cope with disasters and emergencies, and to deal with stress.

Participants can take part through their smartphone, tablet, or computer.
