Total Prepare provides municipal government emergency supplies, food and water to local governments throughout Canada. Local governments play a critical role in emergency management. From regional districts and territorial departments to unincorporated community authorities, these organizations are often the first line of response when disaster strikes. Their responsibilities range from planning and coordination to direct response and recovery. And while their mandates may vary, one thing remains consistent: the need for robust emergency preparedness.
At Total Prepare, we work alongside local governments across Canada to support their emergency readiness with trusted, general preparedness supplies and solutions. We specialize in helping communities and organizations equip themselves to effectively prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies and disasters. Our strength lies in delivering reliable, scalable, and accessible preparedness products that can make a critical difference when resources are strained or delayed.

The Complex Realities of Local Emergency Management
Canada’s geography and climate present unique challenges for local governments. Remote communities, rugged terrain, and extreme weather events can turn relatively minor incidents into prolonged emergencies. Add in the growing risks of wildfires, flooding, heatwaves, supply chain disruptions, and public health emergencies, and the demand for local response capabilities has never been higher.
In many regions, local governments must be prepared to operate independently during the first 24 to 72 hours of an emergency, sometimes longer, before provincial or federal assistance arrives. This means ensuring they have adequate food, water, shelter, medical supplies, communication tools, and backup power available for both staff and potentially affected populations.
That’s where Total Prepare comes in. We help bridge the gap between risk and readiness by providing the products and planning tools needed to respond quickly, confidently, and sustainably.
A Partner in Community Resilience
Total Prepare works with a wide range of local government bodies, emergency program coordinators, public safety departments, regional districts, and rural community organizations, to strengthen their emergency preparedness plans and supplies. We understand that no two communities are the same, so we take a collaborative approach, helping organizations:
- Assess gaps in emergency supplies and response capabilities.
- Develop tailored kits and stockpiles based on population size, geography, and risk profile.
- Implement scalable supply solutions that work within budgetary constraints.
- Maintain readiness through restocking and lifecycle planning.
Our mission is to help local governments protect their communities, enhance operational resilience, and respond effectively when every second counts.
Comprehensive, General Emergency Supplies
Our inventory includes a broad spectrum of general emergency preparedness supplies designed to support communities through a wide range of emergencies.
Some of our most requested products by local governments include:
- 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.
- First Aid and Trauma Kits suitable for both responders and community care centers.
- Emergency Shelter and Warming solutions, including blankets, rain ponchos, and sleeping bags.
- Portable Lighting and Communication devices, from solar-powered flashlights to hand-crank lanterns and radios.
These supplies are designed to be durable, easy to store, and ready for rapid deployment in community centres, Emergency Operations Centres, or remote locations as needed.
Support for Evacuation, Isolation, and Continuity
In times of crisis, local governments are tasked with doing more than just responding to the immediate emergency; they must also support displaced residents, maintain continuity of operations, and protect critical infrastructure.
Total Prepare supports these goals with modular, scalable solutions. For example, during wildfire season, we assist with pre-positioned evacuation kits and portable food and water reserves for reception centres.
For isolated communities or territories vulnerable to long-term disruptions, we can help establish emergency supply caches and water security plans, ensuring leadership can maintain essential operations even when cut off from outside support.
Trusted Expertise and Ongoing Support
At Total Prepare, we pride ourselves not only on the quality of our supplies, but also on the expertise and responsiveness of our team. We understand the pressures local governments face, from funding cycles and regulatory compliance to the logistical challenges of serving remote or dispersed populations.
Our role is to make emergency preparedness more manageable by offering:
- Customized kits and bulk orders designed for specific departments or regions.
- Planning tools and checklists to support EOC development and emergency plan updates.
- Timely restocking and replacement services to keep supplies fresh and functional.
- Responsive customer service that works with you before, during, and after emergencies.
We are committed to being a long-term partner in preparedness, not just a one-time supplier.
