Residents of nearly 30 communities will be safer during emergencies with provincial funding for emergency operations centres that will enhance local governments’ and First Nations’ response to emergencies.

Following a stretch of high temperatures and several heat warnings throughout the province, and with potentially challenging wildfire weather forecast, the BC Wildfire Service is implementing a campfire ban in all parts of B.C., except Haida Gwaii.    

As B.C. transitions into warmer, drier summer months, the Province continues to take action to help keep people and communities safe from wildfires.

More communities will benefit from local projects that help keep people safe during disasters and extreme-weather events.

The Province wants to hear from people about the supports available when they must evacuate their homes during a disaster.
