In some ways, the way I see disaster preparedness is somewhere along the lines of, "If you had to go into your home to grab what is needed to go camping/go to a cottage, would you be able to do so? Or would you need to go out for supplies?"
Power outages and floods are probably the worst we can get in Calgary. Perhaps the occasional grass fire. I think both our locations have enough of a populace that is better equipped to deal with no communication, no utilities than most other urban areas.
