Interactive guide provides info on emergency preparedness 0
The City of Leduc has an online, interactive emergency preparedness guide available on its website at leduc.ca.
The City of Leduc has introduced an easy and comprehensive information guide for residents who want to get all the information possible on what to do in case of an emergency situation.
On the city's website, leduc.ca, there is an online Emergency Preparedness Guide outlining detailed information on various emergency situations and how to deal with them properly and efficiently. Under the Living tab on the city's main page, click 'emergency preparedness' and one can access the guide through the tab.
The guide is interactive, meaning those using it can flip through the pages back and forth using their mouse.
Deputy Chief Gerry Kelly got the idea for the online, interactive Emergency Preparedness Guide after seeing a similar guide used online by the fire department back in his hometown of Dublin, Ireland.
With a model, the city's IT department was able to put together the guide now available on their website 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Inside the 17-page interactive guide, there is information on what a 72-hour emergency kit is and what's inside of one, what kind of alert systems are out there, what to do in case of large scale emergencies like a flood, extreme warmth or cold, how to protect important records and valuables, how to treat various medical emergencies like hypothermia and frostbite, and much more. There are also important local emergency contacts located on the final page of the interactive guide.
