# Emergency Preparedness Week 2023

Sunday, May 7 to Saturday, May 13 is Emergency Preparedness \(EP\) Week across Canada. EP Week is an opportunity for you to take action to ensure you are prepared to protect yourself, your family and your community during an emergency.

This year’s theme for EP Week is — Be Prepared. Know Your Risks. It is important for you to understand the risks in your community and learn what actions you can take to protect yourselves and your families. At Seneca, we want to make sure you are prepared for what can happen on campus.

The  team will be sharing a variety of messages and activities to share with you throughout the week.
