Working groups over the last 2 days have determined that in the event of a severe earthquake
Mayne Island residents would likely be on their own for up to 7 days with no outside help. This means no power or water and possibly damaged roads and structures.
Are you prepared?

🌫️ Notice: Smoky Skies 🌫️

You may be noticing smoke in the air today. This is likely due to ongoing wildfires burning in our province and in Washington State.

While this smoke is expected, please don’t hesitate to report anything unusual or potentially dangerous. If you see visible flames, a column of smoke, or anything alarming, call 9-1-1 right away.

Stay safe, Mayne.
