It is called good government, keeping their people informed and giving good advice.

IMO - this is about a pandemic, and we're likely in an unannounced Stage 5 Alert, maybe early Stage 6. ...Everyone everywhere is positioning, planning, and pushing emergency/pandemic preparedness.

Well it could be a lot worse, our politicans in the US are too worried about their own power to care about the people.
We have been at war for over 5 years and if it wasn't for the news, no one would know it.

Looks like a PSA. Preparing citizens for a possible ice storm or any severe storms we may have this coming winter. I remember it was pretty bad for Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick back in '98. Talk about frigid.
More than two million residents of B.C.'s Lower Mainland have been told to consider boiling their water in the wake of the big storm that blew through the area on Wednesday.
The Greater Vancouver Regional District issued the advisory Thursday, warning that the brown, cloudy tap water increases the risk of gastrointestinal illness.
The GVRD said the heavy rains of the past couple of days have increased turbidity in the Capilano and Seymour reservoirs on the North Shore.

Having a 72 hour 'bug-out' bag is common sense. Earthquakes, tornados, floods, blizzards, hurricanes, terrorist attack ..... everyone who can afford one should have a 3 day emergency back pack.
Basic items you will need to survive for 72 hours:
Water – at least two litres of water per person per day (Include small bottles that can be carried easily in case of an evacuation order)
Food that won’t spoil, such as canned food, energy bars and dried foods (remember to replace the food and water once a year)
Manual can opener
Flashlight and batteries
Candles and matches or lighter (remember to place candles in sturdy containers and to put them out before going to sleep)
Battery-powered or wind-up radio (and extra batteries)
First aid kit
Special items such as prescription medications, infant formula and equipment for people with disabilities
Extra keys for your car and house
Some cash in smaller bills, such as $10 bills (travellers cheques are also useful) and change for payphones
A copy of your emergency plan including contact information.
Recommended additional kit supplies
It is always a good idea to have extra supplies on hand. Here are some recommendations:
A change of clothing and footwear for each household member
Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each household member
A whistle (in case you need to attract attention)
Garbage bags for personal sanitation
Toilet paper and other personal care supplies
Safety gloves
Basic tools (hammer, pliers, wrench, screwdrivers, fasteners, work gloves)
Small fuel-driven stove and fuel (follow manufacturer’s directions and store properly)
Two additional litres of water per person per day for cooking and cleaning
