Emergency Support Services
Provider: Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine
Short-term emergency assistance for people evacuated from their homes.
The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine Emergency Support Services team provides short-term help during emergencies, including referrals for food, clothing and lodging, family reunification, information, emotional support and emergency pet care. Access is available when an emergency activates ESS; use the designated reception centre or contact the program for instructions. In its 2022 Usk evacuation notice, the RDKS directed affected residents to register at the Thornhill Community Centre or call its ESS number. Support depends on the emergency and available resources; this is not a day-to-day service.
