An emergency or disaster can occur anytime, anywhere. An earthquake, flooding, power outages, and severe weather incidents are just some of the possibilities. Through the Delta Emergency Program Office, the Corporation of Delta strives to be a prepared community, ready to respond to these and other disasters or emergencies.

General Personal Safety Measures

We encourage everyone to employ basic safety measures including:

• Walk/jog in small groups
• Walk in well-lit, high traffic areas
• Do not have both ears plugged with headphones
• Be familiar with your surroundings
• If you feel like you are being followed, change the direction you are walking and/or cross the street. Also go into the nearest public place (store, gas station, community facility) and report this to police
• If you have a cell phone, make sure it is charged and ready to dial out
• If you feel someone in this area is suspicious or doesn't belong, report this to police.

These are safety measures we should always be mindful of and remain vigilant with at all times.
