The Village of Lytton is establishing an Emergency Support Services (ESS) team.
We are looking for enthusiastic and caring volunteers, who want to serve their community.
What is Emergency Support Services?
Emergency Support Services (ESS) is a provincial program delivered through local emergency programs and volunteers.
ESS provides short-term assistance to residents forced to leave their homes due to a fire, flood, earthquake or other emergency. This assistance includes food, shelter, clothing, emotional support, and family reunification.
ESS assistance is available for the first 72 hours after an evacuation.
