The Canadian Red Cross held an emergency preparedness challenge at Walmart Saturday afternoon. Their Community Outreach Coordinator Bev Erickson says three teams of four had thirty minutes to find items you should have in a disaster kit.  She listed some items needed along with your identification and cash including the most important water as well as toilet paper, medications, a change of clothing, non-perishable food items, first aid kit, flashlight, portable radio, extra batteries and don’t forget the pets so have a pet carrier and food.

The winning team was the Walmart Explorers Amanda Fleury, Kristina Cowley, Thursa Cridddle and Tammy Lavoie, second Preparedness Pals Preston Erickson, Lory Neufeld, Laurel Mackie and Larace Osika and third the Rescue Rangers Megan Gummerson, Arun Mathew, Ashely Gummerson and Callie Erickson.
