HALIFAX, le 1er mai 2012 /CNW/ - The Insurance Brokers Association of Nova Scotia (IBANS), a membership driven Association representing independent Property & Casualty Insurance Brokers across Nova Scotia, would like all Nova Scotians to take a moment during Emergency Preparedness week to review the three simple steps to prepare for an emergency.

	Know the Risks:
		Flood, hurricane, blizzard, storm surge, power outage are a few
	Have a Plan:
		Emergency escape routes, designated meeting areas, risks in your area, location of fire extinguishers, water valves and electrical panel
	Get an Emergency Kit:
		Include the basics such as water, non-perishable food, a can opener, flashlight and batteries, battery operated radio, first aid kit and cash

And when disaster strikes remember Your Best Insurance is an Insurance Broker.
