Emergency Communications/ Public Notification Plan

All Areas

Introduction

With funding from the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM), the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) is working with Butterfly Effect Communications to undertake the development of an Emergency Communications/ Public Notification Plan to guide our emergency public notification process.

A community input survey was open until June 4, 2025. The survey is now closed and the results are being used to help inform the plan.

This project is funded by a grant from UBCM’s Community Emergency Preparedness Fund (CEPF) – Public Notification and Evacuation Route Planning Stream. The SLRD gratefully acknowledges this support.
