An All Hazards Map is replacing our Fire Map, to quickly locate energy resource activity infrastructure in areas where there are active wildfires.
DATE ISSUED: March 26, 2024
EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately
The BC Energy Regulator’s new All Hazards Map assists planning activities during the upcoming fire season.
Our new All Hazards Map (AHM), formerly known as the Fire Map, was created for the public, energy industry partners and BC Energy Regulator (BCER) staff, to quickly locate energy resource activity infrastructure in areas where there are active fires.
The map presents expanded capabilities and common GIS (geographic information system) mapping software, allowing users to locate a fire point, perimeter or other user specified location. The map and accompanying report display the active infrastructure in the area of interest.
Fire perimeters are updated nightly and fire locations are updated as needed. Additional information on fire perimeters and fire points can be found in the British Columbia Provincial Data Catalogue, which is maintained by the B.C. Ministry of Forests – BC Wildfire Service.
The new map can be found in the Tools & Maps page on the BCER website under All Hazards Map. A map User Guide and FAQs with more information and instructions are available as well. This tool is intended for general information purposes only and should be independently verified prior to use in emergency response planning.
