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

With many parts of the province experiencing warmer weather and British Columbia forecast to have an active wildfire season, the Province is introducing an interactive Emergency Ready Planner to help people create an emergency and evacuation plan for their family.

People living in coastal B.C. communities are encouraged to get prepared for tsunamis and practise their evacuation plans during Tsunami Preparedness Week April 14-20, 2024.

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

The Province is helping more than 200 volunteer fire departments enhance their capabilities by funding new training and equipment to better keep people in British Columbia safe.

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