Emergency Social Services
Langford Emergency Social Services (ESS) is a team of community volunteers who respond to provide essential services needed by people forced from their homes by emergencies or disasters. They are part of a province-wide organization sponsored by the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General and the City of Langford.
Essential services provided:
- Food
- Lodging
- Clothing
- Registration & Inquiry
- Personal Services
- Other Specialized Services
These volunteers donate their time and energy to receive extensive training and have proven to be an invaluable resource in many emergencies.
Langford ESS members meet monthly at Station No. 1 at 7:00 p.m. on the second Monday of the month from September through June.
If you would like to assist the team with planning and operating the system, please attend the next meeting or phone the ESS office at (250) 478-5510 and leave a message.
Individual and family preparedness can reduce the need for help and lessen damage to people and property.
