Total Prepare provides Marine & Coast Guard emergency supplies to teams throughout Canada. The Coast Guard and other marine emergency services play a vital role in national safety and environmental protection. These professionals work around the clock to protect maritime ecosystems, support commercial navigation, conduct search and rescue operations, and respond to increasingly frequent natural and man-made maritime disasters. Whether operating in icy northern waters, remote coastal regions, or busy shipping corridors, marine responders face unpredictable and often perilous conditions. Their success depends on rapid mobilization, reliable equipment, and full operational readiness. 

Maritime Emergency Response 
Equipping Those Who Safeguard Our Waters 

That’s where Total Prepare comes in. Based in Victoria, British Columbia – a city with a rich maritime history and active coastal presence – we understand the complex logistics and evolving threats that maritime professionals navigate daily. We’ve spent over a decade working alongside federal and provincial agencies, port authorities, search and rescue crews, and marine enforcement teams to provide the emergency gear, supplies, and support that keeps them ready for anything. Contact us for Marine & Coast Guard emergency supplies anywhere in Canada whether the Pacific, Atlantic or Northern coasts.

Supporting the Unique Demands of Maritime Emergency Services 

Coast Guard units and marine response teams operate in environments that demand specialized tools and adaptability. From multi-day search and rescue missions to oil spill containment and offshore evacuations, response teams need gear that performs under pressure, in wet and remote conditions, often with limited external support. Total Prepare offers a wide array of field-proven products tailored for maritime use: 

• Meals, Ready-to-Eat (MREs): These self-contained, high-calorie food packets are specifically designed to provide quick, nutritious, hot meals in the field, without the need for cooking facilities or extensive preparation. 

• Compact Food Rations: Specially designed for preparedness, marine and government markets, these extended shelf-life bars provide three days’ worth of calories per pack – ideal for grab-and-go kits or rapid-response vessels. 

• Emergency Drinking Water Pouches: Engineered specifically for maritime emergencies and with a shelf-life of up to 10 years, these easy-open pouches are triple purified, able to withstand extreme temperatures, and have been approved by the Canadian and US Coast Guard, European Commission, and Maritime New Zealand. 

• Federal and Provincial First Aid Kits: Designed in compliance with Canada and WorkSafe BC Occupational Health & Safety Regulations, we have kits available for all classes of workplaces. 

• Weather-Resistant Shelter & Warming Gear: Our range of waterproof bivy sacks, mylar blankets, ponchos, and hand warmers help maintain body temperature in wet, windy, or freezing marine environments. 

• Lighting Solutions: In low-visibility conditions or nighttime operations, our waterproof, buoyant and solar-powered flashlights and lanterns, and chemical light sticks keep crews visible. 

• Onboard Sanitation & Hygiene Kits: Cleanliness and comfort matter during extended missions. We supply marine-compatible sanitation supplies that work in tight, mobile environments. 

Enhancing Readiness on Land and Sea 

Total Prepare goes beyond individual kits to support base operations, training centres, coastal command hubs, and even community readiness programs. Some of our broader offerings include: 

• Bulk Food & Water Supplies for Bases and Posts: With freeze-dried food that lasts up to 25 years and modular water storage systems, we help marine agencies prepare for extended disruptions or major incidents requiring onshore coordination. 

• Emergency Operations Center Equipment: From identification vests and communications tools to triage tags, personal supply kits and emergency lighting, we can help you manage marine emergencies from the command center outward. 

• Shelter-in-Place Solutions for Dockside or Base Use: When lockdown or extended support is necessary, we provide complete kits to sustain essential personnel – including food, water, sanitation, warmth, and light. 

• Group Lodging Solutions Should crews be stranded, rotated in, or deployed away from home, we offer rapid-delivery bedding, cots, and mobile shelter solutions across Canada. 

Investing in Personnel Preparedness 

We recognize the human element behind every rescue mission or environmental response. Many Coast Guard and marine emergency workers spend long shifts in remote or hazardous environments, often leaving behind their families for extended periods. Through our Employee Purchasing Program, we offer discounted emergency supplies for responders’ homes and personal use. When your team knows their loved ones are also prepared, they can focus more fully on the mission at hand.
