Get prepared for emergencies

Emergencies can happen anytime and anywhere. Knowing what to do before, during, and after an emergency can help you and your family stay safe.

Are you prepared for an emergency?

The Calgary Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) wants to know how prepared Calgarians are for emergencies.

We invite you take part in our CEMA Community Survey to help us better understand how prepared you are for emergencies, and how you access and act on information when emergency events occur.

The survey is open until December 31, 2025. After completing the survey, you’ll have a chance to enter your name for one of ten $50 gift cards.

To access the survey, visit: engage.calgary.ca/ReadyCalgary
