B.C.’s new emergency management legislation incorporates lessons learned from recent emergencies and reflects modern risks and realities. The Act will replace the Emergency Program Act, which was last significantly updated in 1993. Implementation will be phased in over time and the Province is working with First Nations and local governments to ensure they have the support they need to successfully implement the new legislation.
