Thank-you
The Regional District of Nanaimo is creating a new Gabriola, Mudge and De Courcy Island Evacuation Route Plan. These islands have unique evacuation challenges, including many one-way access neighbourhoods, forested properties and limited ferry capacity. A new evacuation plan for Gabriola, Mudge and Decourcy Island will identify strategies and alternate evacuation methods to coordinate a safe and orderly multi agency evacuation response to the islands.
Our project is coming to a close, and the final report will be presented to the Board of Directors on February 3rd, at the Electoral Areas Services Committee meeting. To view the board meeting, visit: https://www.rdn.bc.ca/agendas-minutes-videos
A copy of the report is available to view through the February 3rd EASC meeting agenda, and will be made available on the RDN website once complete.

Hi Ruth, Kaitlin here from RDN Emergency Services. Thanks for your Question!
Part of this project is to explore a variety of evacuation options both on- and off-island. Therefore we will be looking at the Quinsam Ferry as well as alternate options for residents to evacuate off-island.
We encourage you to continue to ask questions and explore this webpage, as it will be updated with new information and details about the next steps.
Once the project is completed (scheduled to be completed in February 2022), residents will be able to attend a public Council Meeting to hear about the details and results of the Area B Evacuation Route Plan.
