The Village of Hazelton received a grant through the Union of BC Municipalities' Community Emergency Preparedness Fund to undertake an Evacuation Route Planning process to develop a detailed Evacuation Route Plan for both the Village of Hazelton and the District of New Hazelton; the Plan will provide support for future emergency management planning and will inform both communities’ safe and efficient evacuation in the event of an emergency.
The Village is issuing a Request for Proposals to obtain a consultant to undertake the Planning Process and to develop the Plan, which will provide prescriptive and procedural detail on how evacuations will occur in the event of an emergency in or near the District of New Hazelton and or the Village of Hazelton.
