The SRD has activated a Regional Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) in conjunction with the Village of Tahsis, Village of Zeballos, Ehattesaht/Chinehkint First Nation, Nuchatlaht First Nation and Ka:'yu:'k't'h'/Che:k:tles7et'h' First Nations to coordinate the continued provision of essential needs and life safety services during this unprecedented disruption of power and unsafe travel conditions due to extreme winter weather.

It is recommended that travel be limited to essential reasons only and drivers are experienced with a reliable vehicle for winter conditions.

The Regional EOC has activated warming centres in the communities listed above, ensuring safety for the most vulnerable and are working closely with BC Ambulance Services ensuring continuity of ambulance services and provision of essential medications.

These are the times when the elderly and those needing care are especially vulnerable, please take the time to be a good neighbour and check to see if they are safe, warm and well.
