Total Prepare provides K-12 school emergency supplies, food and water to schools and school districts throughout Canada. Educational facilities, particularly K-12 schools, are a foundational aspect of our modern world. Educational providers are tasked with the dual responsibility of encouraging the growth and development of students through education, while consistently ensuring their safety. In doing so, schools must be prepared and equipped to respond to a wide variety of emergencies – from natural disasters to health crises, power outages, and lockdown situations. In the event of an emergency, educational facilities and providers must respond swiftly and effectively, while continuing to prioritize a duty of care for students.
Having earned a reputation for reliability and consistency throughout its 12 years in operation, Total Prepare has worked alongside educational facilities across Canada to deliver a wide range of emergency supplies tailored to specific consumer needs. Located in Victoria, British Columbia, we at Total Prepare offer localized expertise and are uniquely equipped to help K–12 schools develop, enhance, and maintain comprehensive emergency preparedness strategies.

Support for Emergency Planning and Training
Beyond supplying physical kits, Total Prepare adds value through our emergency planning support services. These include instructional guides, digital resources, and webinars focused on emergency preparedness and how to utilize emergency supplies effectively. This level of preparedness helps build a culture of safety within the school community and ensures that individuals are prepared to respond effectively during a crisis.
Sustainability and Shelf-Life Management
Total Prepare also helps schools manage inventory over time. With long-lasting supplies and reminder services for when items are due to be replaced, schools can maintain preparedness without worrying about updating and replacing supplies. Our emphasis on sustainability and waste reduction through our Emergency Food Rescue Program aligns with school districts’ green initiatives.
When schools are well-equipped for emergencies, they foster a greater sense of confidence among students, parents, and staff. With Total Prepare as a partner, schools can communicate to families that they are taking steps to ensure student safety. This peace of mind can be a deciding factor for parents when choosing a school and contributes to a more secure and focused learning environment.
Furthermore, our focus on long-term preparedness ensures that schools are not simply reacting to emergencies, but are resilient institutions that can maintain operations and minimize disruption during and after a crisis.
Customization and Bulk Solutions
We at Total Prepare recognize that the needs of educational facilities can vary, and we offer the option to collaborate directly with school administrators to develop customized preparedness solutions tailored to each school’s size, location, and specific requirements. Whether a school requires emergency supplies for 50 students or 2,000, Total Prepare can accommodate bulk orders and adjust kits based on age groups, dietary restrictions, and mobility needs.
