The extreme weather and flooding events that occurred from November 14 to December 2, 2021 were, and in many cases continue to be, a significant challenge for many residents, businesses, and travellers within the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD).
As the Fraser Valley Regional District’s Emergency Operations Centre transitions from the emergency response into a recovery phase, we are looking for feedback from residents, property and business owners within FVRD’s electoral areas in the form of a short survey. We ask that only one survey response is provided per household.
The FVRD is responsible for providing emergency management services to the electoral areas, while each member municipality (Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Kent, Hope, Mission and Harrison Hot Springs) is responsible for providing these services to their respective residents. The intent of this survey is to hear from those who reside in, own, or lease property within the FVRD Electoral Areas as they are the intended recipients and audience for FVRD emergency management services and communications.
If you reside in, own property or operate a business within FVRD electoral areas we invite you to share:
- How you, your family, business or community were impacted;
- How you received information; and
- How the FVRD can improve its emergency response communications in the future
The survey closes at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, February 6, 2022.
The survey can be found at https://haveyoursay.fvrd.ca/2021floods. Alternatively, paper copies of the survey have been mailed to properties that were included in evacuation orders and alerts issued by the FVRD. If additional assistance in completing the survey is required, individuals can contact the EOC Public inquiry line at 778-704-0400.
Thank you for helping us get the word out about this opportunity for feedback. Please don’t hesitate to contact me regarding any concerns or questions.
