City of Parksville - Evacuation Route Planning

Your Feedback is important!

Emergency situations sometimes require people, as well as their pets, livestock and farm animals, to be evacuated from their homes and workplaces. Evacuations require advanced planning as well as widespread understanding from community members to occur quickly and safely. Planning for evacuation routes is a normal part of the community emergency preparedness process.

The Regional District of Nanaimo, City of Parksville, and Town of Qualicum Beach are working together to develop updated evacuation plans, including input from the people who live and work in RDN Electoral Area G, the City of Parksville, and the Town of Qualicum Beach communities.

The resulting evacuation plan will be built on the best practices for emergency planning. This includes input from local emergency management teams and first responders (RCMP, emergency medical services, fire), First Nations and traditional territories, subject matter experts and the community. The data will be used to help create an effective evacuation plan based on localized knowledge of hazards.

This survey is designed to be completed by people that live or work in RDN Electoral Area G (Englishman River, San Pareil, French Creek, Little Qualicum, Dashwood, River's Edge), the City of Parksville and the Town of Qualicum Beach.
