Total Prepare provides mining emergency preparedness supplies, food and water to mining companies throughout Canada. Mining is one of the most high-risk industries in the world. From deep underground operations to vast surface mines, the nature of the work brings a complex set of challenges. Safety is at the core of every mining operation, but emergency preparedness is a critical, and sometimes overlooked, component of a well-rounded safety strategy. At Total Prepare, we specialize in providing emergency preparedness supplies which help to ensure mining companies are ready for the unexpected.
Whether it’s an earthquake, severe weather, power outage, wildfire threat, or logistical disruption, we help companies build the kind of resilience that saves lives and minimizes downtime. With our wide range of emergency supplies, such as food, water, first aid, power, and communication tools, we ensure that mining sites are not just operational but equipped to handle emergency events safely and effectively.

The Broader Risks in Mining
While most mining safety conversations revolve around equipment hazards, gas detection, or structural integrity underground, general emergency situations are just as serious. Mines, often located in remote, difficult-to-access regions, face unique challenges when it comes to external support during a crisis. Road closures, severe storms, landslides, and even civil disruptions can delay help for hours or even days.
That’s why general emergency preparedness is not just a best practice, it’s a necessity. Having self-sufficient systems for food, water, communication, and shelter is essential. Total Prepare partners with mining operations to ensure they can sustain their crews and maintain safety even when isolated or under stress.
Emergency Food and Water: The Foundation of Preparedness
In a crisis, reliable access to clean water and high-energy food is vital. Mines often have large teams working on-site around the clock, making the need for scalable emergency sustenance solutions a top priority. At Total Prepare we offer:
- Emergency Food with long shelf lives (Meals, Ready-to-Eat, freeze-dried meals, ration bars, and bulk kits).
- Drinking Water rations in packaged form, large-volume storage tanks, as well as water purification and filtration systems.
This isn’t just about survival, it’s about maintaining strength, focus, and morale in high-stress situations. Ensuring every worker has access to food and water during an emergency buys precious time while leadership coordinates a full response.
Light When It Matters Most
Remote or underground mining sites are often vulnerable to power outages. Without reliable backup systems, a sudden blackout can halt operations and put workers at significant risk. Total Prepare supplies a wide range of emergency lighting solutions, including hand-crank and battery powered lanterns, flashlights and headlamps.
These resources support both evacuation scenarios and shelter-in-place situations, making sure teams can navigate safely and communicate clearly, regardless of the power status.
First Aid and Medical Preparedness
Medical emergencies in remote locations are especially dangerous, and being prepared can mean the difference between life and death. At Total Prepare, we provide comprehensive first aid kits that meet and exceed workplace safety standards. Our kits are built with real-world emergencies in mind, featuring tools to treat everything from minor cuts and burns to traumas like fractures and bleeding.
These supplies give first responders on-site the ability to stabilize injuries until professional help arrives, even in hard-to-reach areas. When every second counts, having the right tools within arm’s reach makes all the difference.
Communication Tools for Emergency Coordination
Clear communication is one of the most important elements of emergency response, particularly in rugged or remote environments where cellular coverage may be unreliable. Total Prepare offers a variety of emergency communication tools, including hand-crank and battery powered radios. These tools ensure teams stay connected with each other, as well as with outside emergency responders, during a crisis.
We also offer NOAA and AM/FM emergency radios that provide up-to-date weather alerts and public safety broadcasts, keeping crews informed when it matters most.
Customized Solutions for Unique Operations
No two mining operations are the same. The size of the workforce, location, climate, and risk profile all play a role in shaping an effective preparedness strategy. That’s why we work closely with mining companies to create custom emergency kits that are tailored to specific site needs. Whether you need supplies for 25 workers or 250, for a 72-hour response or a week-long outage, we help you plan and prepare with precision.
Our custom solutions ensure that you’re not underprepared or overburdened with unnecessary gear. Every kit is built for purpose and designed for quick deployment when every second counts.
