Total Prepare provides highway & road emergency supplies, food and water to highway & road crews throughout Canada.

Preparedness isn’t a luxury for these organizations, it’s a necessity. 

Whether responding to sudden washouts, blizzards, wildfires, or infrastructure damage, highway and road work companies must be equipped to protect their personnel, maintain operations, and restore safe travel conditions quickly. Business continuity and workforce safety depend on being ready when the unexpected happens. Connect with Total Prepare to discuss your needs for highway & road emergency supplies.

Keeping Crews Safe in the Field 

Road crews and maintenance personnel frequently work in remote, hazardous, or unpredictable environments, especially during storms, major incidents, or road closures. Total Prepare provides ready-to-deploy emergency kits and gear designed specifically for field teams to keep them safe, sustained, and mission-ready.

• Compact Food Rations: Long-lasting and able to withstand extreme conditions, these bars provide three days’ worth of calories per pack – ideal for grab-and-go kits or extended deployments. 

• Personal to Comprehensive First Aid Kits: Created in compliance with Provincial Occupational Health and Safety regulations, containing supplies to address any injuries from minor cuts to serious emergencies, and adaptable to meet any level of risk and distance to medical facilities. 

• Temporary Shelter and Warming Solutions: From emergency bivies, mylar blankets, hand warmers and more, we can protect responders from the cold, wind and rain when working long shifts in freezing environments. 

• Vehicle Emergency Kits: When travelling to and working in remote locations, our car kits can protect personnel and vehicles in the event of a breakdown or accident. 

• Portable Lighting & Communications: Solar lanterns, battery-powered flashlights, LED headlamps, crank radios, and other tools to maintain lighting and communication during assignments. 

• Fire Blankets and Fire Extinguishers: Compact safety equipment for quick response to vehicle or equipment fires.  

Strengthening Operational Resilience, Behind the Scenes 

In addition to field kits, Total Prepare supplies emergency preparedness products for administrative offices, depots, maintenance yards, and temporary crew lodgings.

• Employee Purchasing Program: We offer discounts to a wide range of industry professionals, not only as a token of gratitude for the invaluable services they provide, but to facilitate individual resilience and the peace of mind that comes with knowing their families and homes are prepared, so staff are better equipped to serve their communities in times of crisis.
