Proclamation
"Emergency Preparedness Week"

May 2 - 8, 2004

WHEREAS: Emergency Preparedness Week is designed to increase public awareness of the risks, planning and preparations that are necessary for any type of emergency. This is accomplished through the common and collaborative efforts of governments and other organizations of the emergency preparedness community; and
WHEREAS: the Toronto Office of Emergency Management assists the City of Toronto to identify risks, mitigate, prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies. While the City is doing everything it can to prepare for disaster, residents also have an important role to play in ensuring their own safety during an emergency; and
WHEREAS: Emergency Preparedness is a shared responsibility and each of us can reduce the risk we face by better understanding what could happen and learning how to better prepare ourselves, our families and our community; and
WHEREAS: each of us must understand the risks inherent to where we live and work, and undertake actions that reduce those risks. In this way, we can limit the extent to which an emergency affects us.
NOW,
THEREFORE: I, Mayor David Miller, on behalf of Toronto City Council, do hereby proclaim May 2 - 8, 2004 as "Emergency Preparedness Week" in the City of Toronto.

[Signed Mayor David Miller]
