In the last few months, there have been emergency preparedness town halls, Know Your Zone for evacuation meetings and FireSmart meetings ongoing. All in effort to prepare Bulkley Valley residents for an eventual flood, forest fire or other disaster that will one day come.

Emergency personnel have given out information on how to prepare your homes, property, and selves for what to do, and who to contact, should one of these events happen.
