Beyond the 72hr Emergency Kit

Preparing is about more than just your supplies; it's about knowing you will be able to take action with the you have.

Preparing from the inside out!

​​

In this 2hr workshop participants will learn:​​

  • Why it is that you haven't yet started on your kit, and how to start preparing today.

  • How to uncover what it is that you already have that will help you respond in an emergency - no matter your age and ability.

  • What you need for a 72hr emergency kit.

  • How to start building a 72hr kit, even if money is tight.

  • What you need to tap into your imagination to come up with creative solutions when faced with unexpected circumstances.

  • How systems of oppression intersect with the climate emergency, and what you can do about it.

Welcome to the Beyond the 72hr Emergency Kit workshop. During our time together I give you the tools you need to find your power in emergency preparedness, emergency response and addressing the climate emergency as a whole.

​

You are here because you have people you care about - whether it is friends, family, neighbours or peers, as well as yourself - and you often find yourself thinking about how the climate emergency will affect your futures.

In unprecedented times it is important to know HOW YOU REACT unforeseen circumstances so that you can prepare yourself to respond instead.

Emergency preparedness is a WAY of thinking, it isn't just a THING I think about.​

​

​As an immigrant kid my pantry was always full of emergency supplies. We didn't call it that though - these were just items for WHEN (not if) we lost power, water, or the stores ran out of food.

​

Emergency preparedness includes self knowing, it is more than a kit and plan.​

​

In my almost 20 years of working with youth in residential care, I learned the role of creativity in emotional and mental preparedness. In a crisis we need to know HOW we react, and WHAT we need, in order to RESPOND in a way that is constructive.

​

At its core, emergency preparedness is community care. The future we need is one where CARE is a way of thinking, a culture we all participate in.

With the climate emergency accelerating rapidly, and escalating tensions all around the world - we are all carrying some level of stress.
 

Go from  feeling stuck always THINKING about emergencies to TAKING ACTION and preparing.

​

Go from feeling overwhelmed and AVOIDING preparedness to FINDING YOUR ROLE in emergencies.​

​

Go from feeling unequipped to RESPOND inclusively in an emergency to feeling WELL RESOURCED.

​

Go from feeling like your budget is too tight to do any emergency preparedness, to EXPANDING YOUR CAPACITY outside of finances.

​​​​​​​"I think about emergency preparedness often but don't have a kit or a plan. I appreciated how you encouraged us to think about this as a group and not only as an individual. I am going to start having conversations with my neighbours about this so we can help each other out."

This workshop is for leaders and their communities.

 

You are a leader if you are anyone that a group might look to for leadership in an emergency such as a teacher, parent, community builder, CEO, coach, youth worker, manager, superintendent, ED, board member, emergency committee member, or elder.  â€‹â€‹â€‹

What to expect:

​

 

I am the kind of facilitator that wants to make sure all the different learning styles are being engaged.

 

There will be:

  • Opportunities to get hands on and start building your kit for those that are hands-on learners.

  • Prompts for further reading for those that like to have a thorough understanding of a topic.

  • Invitations to engage in a creative practice for those that like to think more artistically.

  • Explanations for those who are auditory learners.

  • Visual aids for the visual learners.​​

​​

You will leave with:

  • An emergency list that reflects your personal needs and of those around you.

  • ​An understanding of responses and reactions to crises.

  • An understanding of the power and responsibility your identities give you in addressing the climate emergency and your emergency response.

​​

In all my workshops I encourage you to practice agency and care (for yourself and those around you).​​
