The Ultimate Emergency Preparedness Guide — 2027 Edition (PDF, Quebec)

Ice storms, spring floods, boil-water advisories, shortages: your family will know what to do, not just for 72 hours, but also when the crisis lasts.

Most preparedness advice stops at the emergency kit. This guide goes further: it helps you build lasting preparedness, adapt it to your region and keep it up to date from one season to the next. You fill in, you check off, you review. The result: a written plan the whole family understands.

New: the 2027 edition

This update replaces the 2026 edition. The content has been fully reviewed and adapted to Quebec: local numbers and resources, official guidance on drinking water and nuclear emergencies, safer wild foraging, verified radio frequencies and easier-to-use reference sheets.

What's inside (43 pages, letter size)

• 1. Assess risks and plan: 16 emergency scenarios to prioritize, planning sheets, evacuation, go-bag tracking, supply log and emergency contacts
• 2. Prepare the home: room-by-room preparedness audit, shelter-in-place plan and neighbourhood risk map
• 3. Communication and reunification: a plan to find each other when cell phones stop working, backup means of communication
• 4. Drills, skills and documents: family drills, skills tracking and a list of important documents (RAMQ card, protection mandate, insurance)
• 10 reference sheets: four-season gear, prevailing winds and nuclear emergencies, radio frequencies, 12-week food supply, first aid, wild foraging, navigation, water purification and how to build your stockpile in Quebec

Who it's for

Families, couples and people living alone who have already thought "we should get prepared" and finally want a complete plan, written down and reviewed regularly.

Already have the 72-Hour Family Emergency Plan? This guide picks up where it leaves off: the 72-hour workbook covers the first three days, and the Ultimate Guide takes over for everything that lasts longer.
