Emergency Preparedness Week

Although the City of Lethbridge is still unable to host in-person Community Engagement events at this time, we are happy that we can still connect with you digitally. Emergency Preparedness Week runs May 2-8, 2021. Emergency Preparedness Week is an opportunity for us to reach out to those living and working in Lethbridge to remind them how they can take simple steps to become more prepared for disasters, emergencies and unexpected situations.

COVID-19 was unexpected and has proven to be a complex incident full of learning. In 2020 the City ran three community-based surveys to understand the effects of COVID-19 in our community. This process provided our team with knowledge of the concerns and challenges present in the community during the response stage of the pandemic and helped us make more informed decisions. We know that we are not in the clear yet, but we have come a long way in the past year.

We are requesting the assistance of residents once more to provide awareness for successes and areas for improvement within emergency and social response activities.
