Emergency Preparedness

The View Royal Emergency Program is made up of Town staff and dedicated volunteers who serve their community in order to prepare, respond and recover from emergencies and disasters that may affect our municipality. The View Royal Emergency Program encompasses the following areas:

  • Emergency Support Services (ESS)
  • Emergency Radio Communication
  • Emergency Operations Centre
  • Public Education
  • View Royal Community Risks and Hazards
  • Emergency Preparedness Information

Our goals are:

  • to educate the public in regard to the hazards in our area and how to prepare for and respond to emergencies caused by these hazards in order to expedite recovery from emergencies and disasters;
  • to maintain current and relevant emergency plans for our municipality;
  • to prepare staff and volunteers to respond effectively to emergency and disasters through training and exercises;
  • to maintain adequate resources that will allow responders to sufficiently perform their duties and assist in the recovery process for local government, businesses and residents.

View Royal's Emergency Program is a dynamic organization that is continually redefining itself in order to meet provincial mandates, compliancy with the British Columbia Emergency Response System (BCERMS), and the current needs of its residents, businesses and infrastructure. If you are interested in setting up a Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness Program or volunteering with our Emergency Support Services Team or Emergency Communications Team, please contact the Emergency Program Officer by phone at
