The provincial government is launching a new online system to help people during an evacuation.
The MyAlberta Emergency Registration System is being created as a safer and easier way to register with a reception centre as well as receive different supports.
Those without internet access or those having trouble can contact the province’s call centre (310-0000) to register over the phone.
“Getting services to Albertans safely and quickly is vital when disaster strikes,” said Ric McIver, Minister of Municipal Affairs. “Providing online registration for evacuees and their pets is one more tool in our tool belt.”

The municipality is hoping to have a grant program up and running for Draper property owners in the near future.
Wood Buffalo council met on Tuesday where they were given an update on work in the area, Ptarmigan Court, and ahead of this year’s river breakup.
Through the program, property owners would receive funds to help them protect their lots from future flooding. The main use would help raise properties to the 251 metre mark.
Discussions have been ongoing since late last year on the program, however, the RMWB has been waiting for the results of a land survey down which recently just finished.
