What is ESS? Emergency Support Services (ESS) is an emergency response program delivered by local authorities to meet the basic needs of local residents who are affected by disasters. ESS provides short-term support in a compassionate manner following disasters ranging from a single house fire to large evacuations caused by emergencies like wildfires and floods. These supports enable people to re-establish themselves as quickly as possible after an emergency or disaster.
Under the BC Emergency Program Act (EPA) and Local Authority Emergency Management Regulation, local authorities are responsible for planning and responding to emergency events within their jurisdiction. This includes coordinating the provision of food, clothing, shelter, transportation and medical services for their residents. ESS is a locally managed program under the public safety lifeline volunteer (PSLV) program.
