Public Safety Canada is maintaining its longstanding advice for Canadians to be prepared to go at least three days without running water or electricity, following recent calls in the U.K. and other countries for their residents to do the same.
“Canadians have been encouraged for many years to … be ready to take care of themselves and their households for a minimum of 72 hours during an emergency,” Zarah Malik, a spokesperson for Public Safety Canada, said in a statement to CBC News.
