The Town of Qualicum Beach has an extensive Emergency Preparedness Plan for the
protection of, and assistance for, citizens and infrastructure during the time
of emergency or disaster. This plan extends throughout the Regional District for
incidents of cross jurisdictional nature.
The citizens of the Town are not, however, without obligation to have prepared
themselves to be self-sufficient within the first 72 hours of an emergency or
disaster. Personal emergency preparedness brochures and information are available
from the Town Hall during regular office hours.
The Emergency Social Services (ESS) component of the Emergency Plan is comprised
of 100+ trained volunteers, ready to assist those in need, in Registration and
Inquiry, Food, Lodging, Clothing, Finance and other needs during an emergency
or disaster.
If you would like to become a trained ESS
volunteer, please contact Don Marshall,
Emergency Program Coordinator, Town of Qualicum
Beach at 752-6921 during regular office
hours.
