Some neighbours face more risk during an emergency than others. Knowing who's around you helps you know where a quick check-in matters most.

People Living Alone

• Seniors who live by themselves
• People who don't have family nearby
• Anyone who has mentioned feeling isolated

People With Health Or Mobility Needs

• Anyone using a wheelchair, walker, or mobility aid
• People who depend on electricity for medical equipment (oxygen, refrigerated medication, mobility devices)
• People recovering from a recent surgery or illness

Families With Extra Demands

• Households with young children or infants
• Families with a member who has a disability
• New parents who may be stretched thin

People With Fewer Resources

• Households without a vehicle
• People who may not be able to afford supplies for an extended outage
• Newcomers to Canada who may be less familiar with local emergency systems or services

People You Simply Haven't Seen

• A neighbour whose lights, mail, or activity pattern suddenly looks different
• Someone you haven't seen or heard from in longer than usual
