Current Emergency Situation: Warming Stations Set Up

Power Outage Update

BC Hydro has over 800 personnel working on restoring power. At this time the estimate is that by mid-day December 25th most of the populated areas should have power restored but throughout the region there will be pockets of areas that will take longer due to the complexity of the damage and a need to fully rebuild the power infrastructure in some areas.

Island Savings Centre – 2687 James Street, Duncan will be open today, December 23, 2018, from 10 am to 5 pm and the Library will also be open as a place to hang out and get warm only!

Cowichan Valley Regional District provides emergency management.  They have set up warming stations throughout and the latest information is available on their website here: https://www.cvrd.bc.ca/2275/Current-Emergency-Information
