Emergency Preparedness
As every Guiding member knows, it is important to always ‘Be
Prepared’. Girls should know the risks of emergencies
that could happen in their communities and prepare themselves
accordingly.
As a result, Girl Guides of Canada, Ontario Council
has partnered with Emergency Management Ontario to develop
the Emergency Preparedness Challenge.
The Emergency Preparedness Challenge is divided into
sections for each branch. Each participating unit must
choose one option under each of the following categories
in order to complete the Challenge:
• Define an Emergency
(Sparks,
Brownies & Guides only)
• Family Emergency Plans
• Emergency Survival Kits
• Pet Emergency Survival Kits
• Define a Natural Emergency
• Natural Emergencies in Your Community
• Lifesaving Skills
• Basic First Aid
• Contacting Emergency Services
• Water Safety
• Fire Safety |
 |
There are two or more options for each category. More
than one option may
be completed and doing so will increase the girl’s level
of preparedness.
You can now purchase Emergency Preparedness crests for
different branches at Guide stores.
