We partner with local, regional, provincial and federal authorities, support organizations, and community volunteers.

To be prepared for an evacuation, residents can set themselves up online through the MyAlberta Emergency Registration System (MAERS) or call the Government of Alberta call centre (310-4455) to register over the phone. The information collected through the online registration system is to support Alberta families who have had to leave their homes during an emergency evacuation and help them to quickly get access to government services. The MAERS helps government and local municipalities monitor the number of families registered and assess emergency social service needs to support recovery efforts.
