Comox Valley Regional Emergency Management Plan
The Comox Valley Regional Emergency Management Public Plan provides an overview of how local governments share responsibility for planning, preparing, and coordinating emergency response and recovery in the Comox Valley. This plan is intended for public awareness and does not include operational guidelines.
Provincial legislation, regulations and guidelines provide local governments with guidance on: declaring a State of Local Emergency, issuing Evacuation Alerts, Orders and Rescinds; approval pathway for cost-recovery for Emergency Operations Centre related activities.
Public emergency notifications and evacuation planning are key priorities for Comox Valley Emergency Management partners: K’ómoks First Nation, Village of Cumberland, Town of Comox, City of Courtenay, and Comox Valley Regional District. This partnership supports a multi-jurisdictional approach to collaborative emergency planning and Emergency Operations Centre-readiness.
