The Growing Threat of Wildfires

The Okanagan Valley's unique geography and climate make it particularly susceptible to wildfires. Hot, dry summers combined with dense forests create a tinderbox environment. The McDougall Creek Fire alone forced over 35,000 residents to evacuate and destroyed hundreds of structures.

Limitations of Current Alert Systems

While Kelowna's Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) provides vital information during emergencies, the rapid progression of wildfires often outpaces traditional alert systems. Residents need a more immediate and personalized warning system to ensure safety.
