Emergency Support Services will only be provided if an evacuee’s primary residence is one of the properties under evacuation order. If possible, residents are asked to make arrangements to stay with friends or family as commercial lodging may not be available.

Anyone whose primary residence is in the mentioned area is asked to report to the McArthur Island Sports Centre Parking lot at 1655 Island Pkwy in Kamloops, and remain in, or near to, the vehicle they arrived in.

Residents can self-register as an evacuee using the Evacuee Registration & Assistance (ERA) Tool online. An ESS volunteer will make contact using the phone number listed in self-registration.
