An Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) has opened in Dease Lake within the Service BC Centre (Block D, Hwy 37, Dease Lake, BC V0C 1L0). The EOC is being staffed by members of the Tahltan Band and Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine.
This centre will be active during this emergency event, right through into recovery, to coordinate efforts within the community and with outside agencies.
The People’s Haven (250-771-5577) and other emergency social service agencies will continue to provide help to evacuees, while the EOC coordinates efforts to move the community into long-term recovery.
We are currently in a state of emergency, so the EOC hours are 7 days a week, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The main contact number for the EOC is 250-771-5050.
