Denman and Hornby Islands Complete Emergency Evacuation Guidelines

emergency · August 2023 · Denman and Hornby Islands

The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) has completed the first emergency mass evacuation guidelines for Denman and Hornby Islands to help coordinate evacuation approaches in catastrophic events. Residents are encouraged to fire smart their properties and be prepared for emergencies such as wildfires and earthquakes.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
