The Rock Creek Fire of 2015, and the threat of wildfire activity in Northern BC and Alberta during the summer months, are good reminders that emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere. Your own personal preparedness can go a long way in assisting you in managing the emergency and recovery afterward. The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary has made a variety of guides and plans from PreparedBC available on their website to help residents prepare in case of an emergency in the area. Pamphlets are available at the Village Office.
