Oceanside Emergency Social Services

The City has been instrumental in setting up the Oceanside Emergency Social Services plan for our area. To date our E.S.S. Committees are working on the plan to ensure the safety and care of its people in emergency situations.

Being prepared should a disaster strike is everyone's responsibility. Emergencies and disasters can occur at anytime without warning. We cannot stop a disaster or emergency, but we can take responsibility for ourselves. We can also get involved with our community E.S.S. team. For more information on what your E.S.S. team has already undertaken on your behalf, what your family can do to be prepared, or becoming a volunteer, contact the City Emergency Social Services at 250 954-3411 or email: oess@uniserve.com.
