The Yukon Government, through the Emergency Measures Organization (EMO), is responsible for coordinating the territory's preparedness for, response to, and recovery from, major emergencies and disasters.
Each year, thousands of Canadian families face emergency situations that could change their lives forever.
Don't be caught off guard, learn how to plan for emergencies, assemble an emergency kit, and always be prepared.
Preparing for a flood threatRiver flooding in the spring is common. Warm temperatures, rain and a high snow pack in the mountains all contribute to flood potential.
Residents in flood prone areas should take the necessary measures to protect their property.
