Get emergency financial support faster! Pre-register for Emergency Support Services through the BC Service Card app.

Residents of Maple Ridge are encouraged to create an Emergency Support Services (ESS) profile using the BC Services Card App.

Pre-registering ensures that if you ever need to evacuate due to an emergency such as flooding, wildfire, or a major fire, you can access support faster and more easily.

By setting up your ESS profile in advance through the Evacuee Registration and Assistance (ERA) system, you can receive essential supports—including accommodation, food, and financial assistance — without delay. Registered evacuees can have financial supports sent directly to their bank accounts via Interac e-Transfer.
