If you need access to areas under an Evacuation Order, there is a permit process in place.
Please note that temporary entry permits are for essential personnel only – people who have a legitimate need to temporarily enter evacuated areas, such as to take care of livestock, monitor oil gas facilities or other critical service requirements.
To apply for a permit to temporarily enter an area under an Evacuation Order, please submit a Temporary Entry Permit Application.
If you need assistance or additional information about temporary entry permits, please email EOC.entrypermits@prrd.bc.ca.
The PRRD Emergency Operations Centre and BC Wildfire will screen the applications and will assess safety risks. Permits will be authorized on a case-by-case basis. The goal is to review applications for next-day access, and access is based on a safety assessment.
Applications must be submitted prior to 5 p.m. to be considered for the next day.
