Being prepared for an emergency
Jasper National Park
Portions of Jasper National Park remain closed due to impacts from the Jasper Wildfire Complex. Please check for up to date information.
While we cannot easily predict emergency situations such as wildfires, we can reduce their impact by being adequately prepared for these unfortunate events. Below you will find guidelines on how to prepare for a wildfire and resources for staying informed during an emergency.
