Emergency Preparedness
12-Month Emergency Preparedness Plan
The 2026 goal for Canyon Rim is to build resilience step by step. Each month focuses on a new preparedness topic to help individuals and families become better equipped for emergencies. We recommend budgeting $50–$100 per month for supplies (some months may require little or no spending) and spending 2–4 hours on monthly tasks. By the end of the year, our community will be better prepared—and ready to support others in times of need.
