British Columbia is implementing two new orders under the Emergency Program Act in order to stabilize fuel supplies in B.C. and keep major roads clear for essential travel only Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth said during an update on the flooding Friday afternoon.
The order comes as the province grapples with supply chain disruptions due to devastating flooding,
The general public in Metro Vancouver, on Vancouver Island and other parts of southwestern B.C., are being restricted to only 30 litres of gas per visit at a gas station.
It does not apply to the interior.
Under the new provincial order, essential vehicles will have unrestricted access to fuel as required, using predominately commercial trucking gas stations.
“We are asking people to limit their fuel consumption and vehicle travel at this time and are putting in place orders under the provincial state of emergency to support this,” Farnworth said.
