#evacuations

More than 600 members of Red Earth Cree Nation are displaced as the community braces for flooding in northeast Saskatchewan this week. Nearby Shoal Lake Cree Nation has also started evacuating residents as the levels of the Shell River and Carrot River rise. The two First Nations are roughly 200 kilometres east of Prince Albert.

Set aside emergency cash. Cash, not electrical payment. Actual physical money. Keep small bags of essentials packed. Discuss emergency evacuation plans with your family. Set up safeguards. Gather up and print off any physical ID and data you need. Arrange emergency meeting places.

Start training your pets for scenarios where you need to get them out ASAP or need to carry them, crate them, ect. Buy alert notices that you have children/pets in the household (there's a new 'pet light' that alerts firefighters to pets in your home btw!). If you don't already have one, buy a suitable crate/transport box.
