Disasters don’t make appointments. Whether it’s a fire, flood, cyberattack, or power outage, emergencies can strike at any time—and businesses that aren’t prepared often pay the price.
Ask yourself:
Do we have a plan in place for natural disasters?
Can we continue operations if the power goes out or our systems go down?
Are our employees trained to respond to an emergency?
When was the last time we assessed our preparedness?
If you hesitated on any of those, it’s time to take action.
The Ready Rating™ Program is a free, self-guided tool from the American Red Cross that helps businesses, schools, and organizations:
Assess their current level of emergency preparedness.
Identify gaps and vulnerabilities.
Improve readiness with tailored recommendations.
No cost. No obligation. Just a smarter, safer way to prepare for the worst – so your business can stay at its best.
Visit ReadyRating.org to begin your assessment and start protecting what matters most.
Don’t wait for a crisis to find out you weren’t ready.

SHOP LOCAL CAMPAIGN The Edson and District Chamber of Commerce has received funding for the Federal Shop Local Campaign which will greatly help the ongoing effort to encourage patronage of our community businesses. We would like to thank the Federal Government and the Alberta Chamber of Commerce. Karen Spencer-Miller, President of the Edson and District Chamber of Commerce says, “the funding will help support projects such as the ‘Shop Local’ billboard, advertising events that will encourage our community to shop local such as the Art on Main, Night Owl sales, Light-Up sales, and state of the art video of some of the hospitality industry in our area”. We are also currently working on a video of Main Street highlighting what our businesses have to offer. We will be working with our local radio stations to get the word out about coming events to help bring people downtown to shop locally. Ken Kobly, Alberta Chamber of Commerce President and CEO states “We still have a long road ahead to rebuild our economy. This federal funding will help Chambers do what we do best: support local job creators”
