Emergency Preparedness Week May 3-9, 2026

Wednesday, May 6, 2026


Nova Scotia’s reputation as a world-class destination is built on more than its coastal beauty and vibrant culture—it is defined by the care and hospitality shown to every visitor. During times of emergency, that commitment becomes even more important.

Travellers may be unfamiliar with local risks like hurricanes, flooding or wildfires. By being prepared—through clear emergency protocols, trained staff and up-to-date safety information—tourism operators can provide reassurance when it matters most.

Communication is key. Proactively sharing timely updates and guidance helps visitors navigate uncertainty and feel supported while away from home.

By prioritizing safety and clear communication, Nova Scotia’s tourism sector can turn challenging moments into lasting impressions—ensuring visitors leave with confidence, trust and a desire to return.
