Are you prepared for an emergency? Attend our May 6 information night to learn how to protect yourself and your family

As part of Emergency Preparedness Week, the City of Port Moody invites you to attend an emergency preparedness information night on Wednesday, May 6, 2026 from 7pm to 9pm at the Inlet Theatre (100 Newport Drive). Join members of the City’s Emergency Management team, Port Moody Fire Rescue, and Port Moody Police to learn how to get ready for any emergency and keep your family safe. Participants will have a chance to win a two-person, three-day emergency kit containing food and water, safety gear, and first aid supplies.

“Emergency Preparedness Week is an opportunity for all of us to take action and ensure we’re prepared to protect ourselves and our families during an emergency,” says Mayor Meghan Lahti. “The City’s information night on May 6 will help Port Moody residents gain important knowledge about the risks in our region and what we can do to get ready ahead of time. Advance preparations, such as putting together a grab and go bag, can make a big difference in an emergency when every second counts.”

This free event will include an overview of the City’s emergency management services and provide information on topics such as the Emergency Support Services program (financed by the provincial government and administered by local governments), personal preparedness, and protecting your home/property.

If you are unable to attend on May 6, visit portmoody.ca/emergency anytime to learn about what to do when an emergency arises and how to stay informed when an emergency is in progress. Visit portmoody.ca/hazards to find information about how to prepare for risks such as earthquakes and wildfires.
