Emergency Preparedness Week 2025 (EP Week 2025)

May 4 - 10, 2025


May 4-10, 2024 is recognized in Kings County as Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week). This is an annual event that takes place each year during the first full week of May, and this year's theme is "Be Prepared, Know Your Risks." While being prepared for disruption if important year-round, EP Week provides a unique opportunity to spotlight emergency preparedness.  Between May 4th and 10th join the campaign to encourage your community members to take actions to reduce their risk.  Working together with community leaders, first responders, non-government organizations and all levels of government, we can build a more resilient and safer Kings County.

The Kings County Regional Emergency Management Organization (Kings REMO) is responsible for providing a prompt and coordinated response to emergencies that occur within its jurisdiction.

The information on this website is provided to assist residents in understanding, planning for, and responding to a variety of risks and hazards in their homes, their community and in the province.

While weather events are the most commonly considered hazards in the Kings County area, man made technical hazards are also possible, and should be considered in plans for individual, family, and public safety.
