Evacuee Supports

Evacuee Support Services (ESS) provides short-term emergency support and information to individuals and households evacuated due to a nearby hazard or disaster. ESS provides safety-net supports on a case-by-case basis for underinsured people displaced by an emergency.

To determine eligibility for ESS supports, evacuees must connect with an ESS responder at a designated Reception Centre, either virtually or in person, to complete a needs assessment. If deemed eligible, and if proof of address is provided, the evacuee may be issued referral vouchers for one or more of the following emergency supports: food, clothing, lodging, and incidentals.

ESS is a referral-based program and does not provide cash or reimburse evacuees for expenses. Emergency shelter may be provided on cots or air mattresses in open gymnasiums or community centres. If you have been evacuated due to an interface wildfire, contact your home or tenant insurance provider to report the evacuation order and ask about available coverage and supports.

Residents of the FVRD electoral area with a verified address within an evacuation order area may be eligible for remote ESS supports on a case-by-case basis.

Next Steps for households under an Evacuation Order:

Step 1 - Exit the Evacuation Order zone by following the travel route provided by your First Nation or Local Government and contact your insurance provider:

  • primary residence are asked to contact their homeowner/tenant insurance provider to notify them of the evacuation order and to make arrangements for supports. The Insurance Bureau of Canada can provide insurance information at 844-227-5422 or www.ibc.ca

Travelers and visitors:

  • If you are visiting in an area that is under evacuation order or alert please leave the area immediately and contact your travel insurance provider to notify them of the evacuation order and to arrange supports.

Step 2 - Self-Register with the Evacuee Registration & Assistance (ERA) tool through https://ess.gov.bc.ca so that your loved ones and communities know that you are safe.
