Salt Spring Island Emergency Program

Salt Spring Island experiences damaging winter storms, wildfires, earthquakes, tsunamis and other hazards. Your risk depends on the location you live and the places you frequent. Understanding hazards near you and preparing for them can keep you and your loved ones safe.

Sign up for the CRD Public Alert Notification System (PANS) to receive alerts with emergency information in your community.

PANS is available to residents living in CRD Electoral Areas.

Visit the Prepare Yourself  page for resources on preparing for an emergency. Learn about areas at risk to tsunami hazards, and plan your safety response, on the Capital Regional Tsunami Information Portal and interactive map tool.
