Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) is now available for eligible British Columbians in the central Interior who may have been impacted by overland flooding or landslides from heavy rains that began on March 22, 2018.

As part of National Volunteer Week, the Government of British Columbia has recognized six Public Safety Lifeline volunteers for their contributions to emergency and disaster response throughout the province.

The BC Coroners Service has announced that a public inquest will be held into the death of Andre Claude Boucher.

A Death Review Panel report released today reviewed all illicit drug overdose deaths in British Columbia over a 19-month period, and makes recommendations to a number of ministries in government and related colleges in the province.

On April 6, 2018, emergency alerts in British Columbia issued through the national Alert Ready program will also be sent to compatible wireless devices, such as smartphones, to ensure more people have the information they need to act quickly in an emergency.

Earthquakes, wildfires, extended power outages and severe weather emerged as some of the top hazards that concern British Columbians, according to a recent Ipsos poll commissioned by Emergency Management BC.

The Province is funding new, collaborative interventions that will help connect vulnerable people to the services they need by providing the City of Surrey with a $175,000 grant for a pilot project to enhance community response to the overdose crisis.
