Dealing with Storms and Weather on PEI (Queens County)
PEI experiences a variety of weather and storms. Severe weather is becoming more common, and storms like Hurricane Fiona have proven that many are underprepared for such situations. While only so much is within the control of one person or one household, it is not always obvious what we can do to maximize safety during storms.
This brief course will look at the different types of storms and weather that can affect us on PEI and what their effects may be. The course will discuss ways individuals and households can prepare for these situations, how to become more resilient to their negative effects, and what to do in an emergency.
There will be opportunity for discussions so we may all learn from each other; no one will be expected to share experiences that they are uncomfortable sharing.
