Total Prepare provides commuter train emergency supplies, food and water to commuter train organizations throughout Canada. In Canada’s bustling urban centers, commuter rail systems such as the SkyTrain in Vancouver, West Coast Express, Edmonton’s light rail transit, Toronto’s TTC Subway, Montreal’s Metro and more, are vital arteries of public transportation. These networks move millions of passengers daily, making safety and emergency preparedness a top priority. As climate events grow more unpredictable and urban populations continue to rise, transportation authorities must proactively ensure that their operations can respond swiftly and effectively in emergencies. That’s where Total Prepare comes in – strengthening emergency preparedness for Canadian commuter rail systems!

Comprehensive Emergency Supply Solutions 

The cornerstone of our support lies in providing reliable, transport-focused emergency supplies that can be stored on trains, in stations, and at operational command centers. In high-density, time-sensitive environments like commuter rail systems, even brief service interruptions can create panic. Power outages, earthquakes, derailments, medical emergencies, or even major delays caused by inclement weather necessitate readily available supplies that can sustain and protect passengers and staff. 

Total Prepare offers a full suite of emergency supplies designed for these situations, including: 

• Complete Toilet Set: This kit focuses on an often-overlooked element of emergency preparedness; sanitation. This element of emergency planning is essential in the face of a crisis, particularly in confined spaces, often present at railway stations.  

• Hygiene kits: These can be added onto toilet/sanitation kits, and are especially important during extended delays 

• *Workplace Emergency Kit (10 – 100 people): This kit functions well in the event of an emergency where staff need to remain on-scene. It includes essentials such as food, water, and other emergency supplies. 

• 72 Hour Individual Essentials Kit: This kit is lightweight and compact, making it perfect to store for staff. It is affordably priced so you can buy multiple kits to keep in various areas, and to be easily accessed in the event of an emergency. 

• WorkSafe BC First Aid Kits (Personal, Medium and Intermediate): First aid is an essential item for any emergency. The WorkSafe BC First Aid Kit is designed for workplaces with the size of the kit dependent on the number of employees and level of risk, and distance to medical facilities. This comprehensive kit includes a variety of supplies to address injuries, from minor cuts to more serious emergencies. (Across Canada, CSA Z1220-17 is the benchmark for workplace first-aid kits. BC’s program aligns to that standard and applies an especially rigorous approach. The result: our WorkSafeBC-aligned kits meet—or exceed—first-aid kit requirements nationwide, making them a reliable choice for any province or territory.)

• 50 Person Trauma First Aid Kit: This first aid kit is extensive and equipped to treat a multitude of individuals in the event of an emergency. It comes packed in a large duffel bag with double hand straps, adjustable shoulder strap, wide-mouth main compartment for easy access, and multiple pockets for easy organization. 

• Thermal blankets, ponchos, and hand warmers for cold weather incidents. 

• Extended shelf-life Emergency Food Rations and Water Pouches. 

• Flashlights, glow sticks, and emergency lighting solutions for use during power failures or tunnel evacuations 

*Option to scale up or add-on 50-year water to the Workplace Emergency Kit 

Supporting Station & Train Preparedness 

Beyond personal kits, we supply bulk emergency equipment that can be housed at strategic locations such as main transfer hubs, maintenance facilities, and control centers. Items such as emergency supplies and communication devices are critical for command personnel managing incidents on the ground. 

Each train, station, or terminal can be outfitted with appropriately scaled caches of emergency supplies to serve passengers in the event they are unable to disembark or must shelter-in-place. Our team provides guidance on how to store and rotate these supplies to ensure long-term reliability and regulatory compliance. 

Earthquake and Climate Readiness 

Several major Canadian cities — notably Vancouver and Montreal — lie in zones susceptible to earthquakes or extreme weather events. For rail systems in these areas, preparation is essential. Total Prepare can deliver earthquake-specific kits that include dust masks, goggles, tools for debris removal, and heavy-duty gloves. We also supply emergency food and water that can be safely stored underground or in temperature-sensitive environments, making them ideal for subways or train stations. 

Partnership for Long-Term Resilience 

Our mission is to partner with transit organizations, not just supply them. We aim to build long-term relationships with commuter railway systems across Canada by offering ongoing support in restocking, updating, and maintaining emergency preparedness equipment. With scheduled audits, product updates, and logistics support, we help ensure systems are always ready. 

Total Prepare is more than just a supplier, we are a preparedness partner. By collaborating with Canada’s commuter rail systems, we can help create a safer, more resilient transportation infrastructure. When emergencies strike, having the right supplies at the right time can make the difference between chaos and calm. We’re here to ensure transit authorities are never caught unprepared. Connect with the team at Total Prepare to discuss your needs for commuter train emergency supplies and learn how we can help.
