I removed that app off my phone for two reasons: 1) They want photos or video taken from the phone showing all sides of your face to register, and 2) the way government insisted on trying to track everyone during covid. . . particularly during the lockdowns with both Google and Apple on board to facilitate this tracking! The wildfires in our area are bad for sure, but is the government using this is a "reason" to force everyone onto this invasive system??? I would rather make my own plans ahead of time as to where I'll stay and how I'll afford stuff than rely on a government that wants yet another way to track everywhere I go. No thanks! "Addressing reports of long wait times at reception centres, Greene urged every British Columbian to stay ready by pre-registering for ESS and downloading the BC Services Card. "So if you're anywhere in BC, you should be doing those two things. It helps in an evacuation," she said. "If we're having a very large evacuation, we're going to have a self-serve option where you can receive your supports remotely. You don't need to attend in person, and then that makes more capacity available in the reception centres."" https://www.castanet.net/news/Vernon/627629/Federal-aid-and-extra-staff-arriving-to-bolster-Okanagan-s-emergency-support-amid-wildfires
