Total Prepare provides Reception Centres & Group Lodging emergency supplies, food and water to locations throughout Canada. In an era marked by escalating natural disasters, cyber threats, and public health emergencies, Reception Centres and Group Lodging Facilities play a crucial role in supporting displaced populations and first responders alike. Activated during a wide range of incidents – from wildfires and floods to evacuations and extended utility outages – these facilities serve as temporary refuges and coordination points. To function effectively, these facilities must be equipped with the supplies and infrastructure necessary to support large groups for unpredictable lengths of time. 

That’s where Total Prepare, a Canadian emergency preparedness company with over a decade of experience, comes in. We provide Reception Centres and Group Lodging Facilities with the tools and supplies required to maintain safety, dignity, and stability for displaced individuals and staff during times of crisis. Connect with Total Prepare to discuss your Reception Centres or Group Lodging emergency supplies. We support Canada from coast to coast to coast!

One of our proudest achievements as a company was in August of 2023, when we were called on by Canada Task Force 2 to coordinate the delivery of almost 800 cots and blankets to the City of Yellowknife – in response to the worst recorded wildfire season in the Northwest Territories, and amidst an unprecedented mass evacuation. We integrated response efforts between agencies and suppliers across 3 provinces, ultimately enabling the entry of the delivery truck into Yellowknife in under 4 days, even when the RCMP had closed the highways.  

Supplying Facilities and Evacuees with the Right Solutions 

Total Prepare is known for its comprehensive suite of emergency preparedness products and excellent customer service. We’ve worked with municipalities, Indigenous communities, provincial governments, and non-profits to support both planned evacuations and fast-moving emergencies. Here are some of the ways our catalogue supports Reception Centre and Group Lodging operations across Canada: 

• Cots and Bedding: A primary need in any group lodging facility is a safe, comfortable place for people to rest. Our heavy-duty, steel-frame emergency cots are built for durability, comfort, compact storage and easy deployment. Also available are a variety of bedding solutions, including mixed-fibre all-purpose blankets, sleeping bags, disposable pillows and pillowcases.  
• Personal Supplies Kits: This kit comes with everything needed to make anywhere feel like home. Each compact duffel contains a deluxe hygiene kit, cutlery, a cup, a bath towel, a face towel, a sleeping bag, and more. 
• Custom Vests for Clear Identification: When tensions are high and tasks are many, visibility and role clarity are essential. Our Canadian-made Incident Command System vests help volunteers and staff stand out while staying organized. Options include reflective lettering, organizational branding, and ID slots, ideal for managing logistics, security, intake, and medical stations. 
• Scalable Freeze-Dried Food Buckets: Designed for compact storage and a 25-year shelf life, these hot, hearty meals can support extended operations with minimal effort. Ideal for facilities with limited kitchen space or high turnover. 
• Flexible Water Solutions: Access to clean drinking water is essential in group lodging scenarios. We supply everything from 50-year canned water to large-capacity storage tanks and portable filtration systems, ensuring hydration needs are met regardless of infrastructure status. 
• First Aid Kits: Available in various configurations, our kits comply with Provincial Occupational Health and Safety standards and are available for any facility size, capacity, and distance to medical care. 
• Grab-and-Go Bags: These ready-to-deploy personal emergency kits include essential items such as food, water, hygiene products, radios, and first aid supplies. Perfect for staff or residents who may need to shelter in place or relocate with little notice.
