Disasters can have serious consequences, but a few precautions can reduce their impact. Saint-Laurent goes beyond raising awareness to encourage concrete action.

In the event of a disaster, it’s important to keep abreast of the recommendations issued by the authorities and the measures put in place. In the event of an evacuation notice, you must leave the premises immediately, bringing your emergency kit with you. It is then essential to follow the instructions to the letter, and go to the home of someone you know outside the affected area, or to the Centre d’hébergement et d’aide aux personnes sinistrées. In Saint-Laurent, the Centre des loisirs, located at 1375, rue Grenet, will fill this role for the occasion.

Protect the health and safety of yourself and your loved ones by being well prepared for emergencies. Consult the following links to access essential resources and practical advice to help you anticipate disasters and act effectively when necessary.
