Poll asks what personal items Canadians would prioritize in an emergency.
Imagine this: a wildfire is rapidly approaching your neighbourhood, or a flood warning has been issued. You only have minutes to salvage things before you need to leave — what do you do?
It’s a question that has become all too real for many. A recent poll, carried out across three countries, provides some insight into what items people would prioritize in such a situation.
The survey, carried out in February 2023 by Pureprofile on behalf of Compare the Market, included over 3,000 adults across Canada, Australia and the United States.
