Emergency response personnel request that:

Those on evacuation alert pre-register at https://ess.gov.bc.ca/open_in_new ahead of time for Emergency Support Services should an Evacuation Order be declared.
The public avoid the Evacuation Alert areas so emergency responders can effectively perform their duties
