Edson and Yellowhead County Evacuees
May 6, 2023
22:30 Update
At this time, we are not anticipating power outages for the next 24 hours. The wildfire is being held and is not currently progressing toward the Fortis substation South of Edson. Conditions could change quickly and any further updates will be provided.
We do ask evacuees and residents to continue to be prepared in the event of a power outage.
We
are prepared to shelter evacuees here for 24 hours following any power outage. We have prepared meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) for all evacuees staying at the Recreation Centre and those billeting not staying at the Recreation Centre.
For all evacuees who do not have their own transportation, including those who were at the Recreation Centre who are now billeting or who are not staying at the Recreation Centre, please register for transportation by calling 780-865-6034.
