Evacuee Resources

Edson Resources for Evacuees

Please note - The Town of Edson has NOT been designated as a reception centre, however, we know there are some evacuees in our area and have compiled a list of resources that may be of help.

Registration

Register as an Evacuee: If you’ve evacuated, register as soon as possible—online is easiest. Link: https://emergencyregistration.alberta.ca/

Keep all receipts: for gas, food, and accommodation purchases! You may get reimbursed later.
