Evacuees: Pre-Register for Emergency Support Services

Pre-registering will speed up the in-person registration process and allow you to receive support via e-transfer instead of vouchers. 

It only takes fifteen minutes or so to complete these three steps: 

1. Download the BC Services Card app and set up your BC Services Card 
2. Head to ess.gov.bc.ca and create your User Profile 
3. Then create your ESS File 

For additional support pre-registering, call 1-844-537-7377 or visit ess.gov.bc.ca.
