B C says expanding emergency alert for wildfires is a priority, but no timeline set

Pader Brach, executive director of regional operations with Emergency Management BC, said the system is being looked at for a variety of hazards, although he could not say if it would be in place for this wildfire season. We know that minutes count and we re certainly committed to making the Alert Ready system a priority, Brach told a news conference. The system is already in use for tsunami threats and Amber Alerts, however it was not used during the heat dome in June in which the BC Coroners Service has said the typical death rate tripled. Brach said Alert Ready would complement existing systems for issuing evacuation orders and other emergency information, not replace them.
