Local emergency programs, like the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Emergency Program, and its counterparts in Lillooet, Whistler, Pemberton, and Squamish, are there to look after people during events that are outside of the day-to-day. Local emergency programs support first responders, and respond to large-scale events like floods, interface fires, and earthquakes – all with a view to helping the community as a whole cope with impacts and recover quickly.

Police, fire, and ambulance are responsible for immediate life safety issues. Dial 9-1-1 in an emergency.
