Please report emergencies at 9-1-1 and non-emergencies on our website through online reporting or at 604-525-5411, as our account is not monitored 24/7.
We’d also add if you don’t have a go bag for the trunk of your car now is a great time to make one and cross that off your list. https://t.co/TWeA6aAuvU @icbc#earthquake#NewWest
