Last summer, Scout Environmental launched the "Stay Cool, PEI" campaign with funding from the Government of PEI's Climate Challenge Fund. This campaign raised awareness and provided people with helpful information to prepare for extreme heat events. 

The digital guide is a free, interactive guide that offers practical tips on recognizing heat-related illnesses and preparing for extreme heat at home and in the community. The digital guide can be found here.

Heavy rain, sustained winds, storm surge, flooding, and power outages are all things that can be expected during a hurricane or tropical storm.

The Provincial Emergency Management Organization (EMO) wants to remind everyone that hurricane season is underway, and the best response to these events is proper emergency planning. 

Helpful reminders when planning for an emergency include:

  • making a household emergency plan to help everyone know what to do in case of emergency;

  • updating your preparedness kits, including extra food, pet supplies, water, masks and hygiene products;

  • bringing in or tying down furniture, play equipment, barbeques or anything that can become projectiles in the event of high winds;

  • ensuring you have fuel for generators and vehicles, as well as propane for outdoor cooking devices such as barbeques;

  • replacing batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide alarms; and 

  • keeping up with the latest information from reliable sources such as following PEI Government, local media, and law enforcement social media channels.

It provides answers to questions such as:

  • What type of flood risks does PEI experience?

  • How can land use planning reduce flood risks?

  • What tools and resources are available to help us learn about flood risk and adaptive options?

  • How do I access and use these tools?

  • How can we reduce flood risk in our communities?

  • What recommendations are there for processing development applications in flood hazard areas?

  • How do I interpret flood hazard data?

  • What legislation has implications to flood risk planning?
