Emergency and Protective Services

Local governments, like a regional district or municipality, are responsible for emergency management. If you live within the RDKS boundaries, look to the RDKS or your municipality for direction in the event of an emergency.

Current Emergency Information: Details and updates on any current emergencies within the RDKS

Emergency Resources: Information about emergency services, hazards, and how to prepare 

Fire Protection: Provided by Thornhill Volunteer Fire Department and Dease Lake Volunteer Fire Department, and contracted services

Reporting an Emergency: How to report various kinds of emergencies 

Emergency Support Services: Short term assistance during disaster response

 

Voyent Alert! is the RDKS alert system. Voyent Alert! sends messages about critical events, such as floods or wildfires. Residents can choose how they would like to receive alerts — either through a mobile app, email, text message or phone call.

You can also choose to receive alerts from any community that uses Voyent Alert!, so if you're traveling you'll still get alerts.

Registration for the service is FREE, simple and anonymous.  If you already have the app, you can register online to receive the alert type that suits you.

Do you prefer email, phone or text alerts? Click here to register online. If you need help to register, please call our office at 250-615-6100.
