What We Do
The Regional Emergency Plan is coordinated by the City of Kelowna Fire Department
on behalf of the Regional District, the City of Kelowna, the
District of West
Kelowna, District of Lake Country
and the District of Peachland. The Plan makes provisions for the community in the
event of any emergency such as flooding, forest fires, airplane crashes or other
catastrophes.
Officials from each member municipality, including the Regional District, RCMP,
fire departments, BC Ambulance, Interior Health, School District 23, public
works, transportation, communications and
Emergency Support Services
(ESS) volunteers meet
and practice the plan, which also includes activating the Emergency Operations Centre
(EOC) in the main Kelowna fire hall.
The plan also provides guidelines for recovery operations after any emergency or
disaster ends. Follow these links for more information on
Preparing for Specific Emergencies and preparing a
Grab and Go Kit for you and your family.
