With Tsunami Preparedness Week underway, selfie from high ground could win you an emergency pack



To help add a little incentive towards participation in Tsunami Preparedness week, Emergency Preparedness BC is offering a chance for residents of the province to win a Premium level 72 hour Grab and Go Bag.

The Grab and Go Bag makes for the goal at the end of your High Ground Hike, the annual exercise where residents in Tsunami zones stake out the best location to assemble should a Tsunami alert be issued

Participants in the contest are asked to take photos as they go along the way sharking the pictures of of their travels to high ground through Twitter or Facebook.

The top prize of the Go Bags comes equipped with generous servings of food and enough emergency water, shelter and survival tools to comfortably last 3 days. The kits also offer space tocustomize your kit with personal items, such as special medications or extra eyeglasses. 

You can learn more about how to create your own Emergency kit here.

Find out more about the Photo contest here.

The High Ground Hike is just one of number of ways that Emergency Preparedness BC marks Tsunami Preparedness week, which will wrap up on the 18th.

You can follow the progress of the week through twitter and Facebook.
