Emergency and safety in Prince George

Everything happening now, with police releases and street closures

Emergency departments

If an emergency department is temporarily closed and you need emergency care, call 9-1-1: paramedics take you to the nearest open one.

Evacuation zones and assembly points

Prince George has nine pre-planned evacuation zones: five follow the garbage collection zones (with minor changes) and four, named by letter, fall outside them. People with vehicles go to the Emergency Reception Centre at Exhibition Park unless an order says otherwise; people without a vehicle walk to the nearest evacuation assembly point; people with mobility issues are picked up door to door.

Coloured areas: the City’s pre-planned evacuation zones. Purple dots: evacuation assembly points. An actual order or alert names the zones it covers. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

9 zones and 18 assembly points from City of Prince George, emergency response facilities and evacuation zones, checked 2 days ago. Evacuation zone lookup by address. Evacuation zone map with assembly points (PDF).
