Evacuation Alert with address list for Electoral Area H

The Ponderosa wildfire was discovered on July 18 and is estimated to be 151 hectares. BCWS suspects the cause to be lightning.

At this time residents or visitors within the area are not required to evacuate, however the RDCK advises people to remain vigilant and be prepared to leave the area at a moment’s notice.

  • Sign up to the RDCK Emergency Notification System. Go to www.rdck.ca/notification
  • Locate all family members and designate a meeting area outside the evacuation area, should an Evacuation Order be called while separated.
  • Pack a grab and go bag and include essential items such as government-issued ID, medications, eyeglasses, valuable papers (e.g. insurance, credit, and mortgage information), immediate care needs for dependents and, if time and space permits, keepsakes for quick departure.
  • Register online with Emergency Support Services https://ess.gov.bc.ca. Create a profile in the event you are put on Evacuation Order.
  • Prepare to move disabled persons, children and/or neighbours, if assistance is needed.
  • Prepare to take pets with you and move livestock to a safe area (if possible). Prepare leashes, pet carriers and food.
  • Arrange transportation for all your household members. Fill the gas tanks of personal vehicles.  If transportation assistance is needed, call 250.352.7701 or 1-866-522-7701 (toll free).
  • Arrange accommodation for all members of the residence, if possible. In the event of an Evacuation Order, Reception Centres will be opened if required.
