The GPREP Reception Centre is for any evacuees who have been directed by the Government of Alberta, or their home community (municipality / first nation / metis settlement) to register in Grainde Prairie or one of the other GPREP partner municipalities.
The Reception Centre location is chosen at the time of each emergency based on facility availability.
The facility name, address and directions are provided to your home municipality / community / first nation. It may be necessary to move the reception centre during your stay with us. If this occurs, the new location will be posted on www.gprep.ca and on signs posted at the old location.
GPREP uses the Provincial Registration & Reception Centre Program (RRCP) to register evacuees.
Registration ensures everyone evacuated receives situational updates and information on available services. This will help the GPREP account for the people evacuated and determine the need for lodging; food services; pet services; or other supports.
If you have previously registered in another host community, Reception Centre staff will look up your information in the Provincial Registration and Reception Centre program and transfer your information to the GPREP Reception Centre.
If you have not previously registered, our Reception Centre staff will help you complete your registration in the Provincial Registration and Reception Centre Program.
You can speed up the registration process by entering your household information in the My Alberta Emergency Registration System (MAERS). https://emergencyregistration.alberta.ca/
