In the event of an emergency affecting Squamish’s air quality, such as a hazardous materials spill, people in the threatened area may be instructed to Shelter-In-Place.
Shelter in place means “Stay indoors and shut your doors and windows.”
What is "shelter in place"?
Unlike seeking refuge at a Reception Centre away from your home or place of work, which might be required during an evacuation, sheltering in place is a precaution to help keep you safe by remaining indoors.
How will I be notified?
First responders, such as police officers and firefighters, will alert people within the affected area by driving though the neighbourhoods providing instructions over a loud speaker or by going door-to-door. The municipality will post emergency information on squamish.ca and share information through local media.
