Understanding Your Risks:
Every home faces different hazards depending on where you live, your building type, and your daily routines. Taking a few minutes to understand your main risks helps you focus your time and money on the steps that matter most.
START WITH YOUR AREA
Think about the emergencies most likely where you live (for example: wildfires, flooding, earthquakes, extreme heat, winter storms, or long power outages).
LOOK AT YOUR HOME
Consider whether you’re in a basement or ground-level suite, near a forested area, on a slope, close to a river or shoreline, or in an older building that may not meet current codes)
CONSIDER YOUR HOUSEHOLD
Factor in anyone who might need extra time or support in an emergency, such as young children, older adults, people with disabilities, or pets.
CHECK LOCAL INFORMATION
Use your city or province/state emergency resources, hazard maps, and alert systems to confirm which risks are most relevant where you live.
Once you know your top hazards, it becomes much easier to build a realistic plan, pack what you truly need, and choose the most effective home improvements.
