If you have been evacuated due to wildfires, you should register with Emergency Support Services (ESS) whether you need the support or not. This will help ensure that your loved ones and communities know where you are and know that you are safe. You can self-register online at ess.gov.bc.ca. If you require assistance with self-registration you can ask for help by calling the Emergency Support Services Info Line: 1-800-585-9559.
Emergency Support Services will only be provided if your primary residence is one of the properties under evacuation order.
We recommend you arrange to stay with friends or family. If you cannot stay with friends or family please report to the reception centre at Chilliwack Senior Secondary School, 46363 Yale Rd, Chilliwack.
