Occurrences of major wildfires and flooding are on the rise and First Nations communities, especially on reserves, often bear the brunt. Emergency situations have a major impact on community members’ physical, mental, spiritual, and financial well-being, and on the Nation’s sovereignty and cultural integrity. Hazardscape is committed to partnering with Indigenous communities to provide Emergency Management training and services purpose-built for their needs. We believe that Emergency Management in an Indigenous context needs to respect and learn from the experience, history and culture of the community in which it takes place. This Fall 2024 we are introducing a course on Emergency Management that does just that. We’ve taken the industry standard “all hazards” approach and adapted it to the needs and challenges of First Nations. - Who is the course for? Members and/or staff of Alberta First Nations who are newly responsible for or involved with the Emergency Management function in their community. - What will participants learn? The full course consists of nine modules, all of which include group activities and class discussion that give learners the chance to learn from each other, as well as from the facilitator.

Hazardscape Management: Statement on the Wildfires in Jasper, Alberta. In the past week, wildfires have ravaged Jasper, Alberta, leaving a profound impact on both the natural landscape and the local community. This is one more example of how climate change is creating a new reality for our World that is cause for concern but also hope. We at Hazardscape extend our deepest condolences to those affected by this disaster. The loss of such a beautiful and vibrant natural area is a grievous event, and our hearts go out to all who cherish Jasper's unique environment. As we come together in mourning, we also find hope in the resilience of the community and the dedicated efforts of emergency responders. Let us stand united in our grief and our hope, as we look towards a brighter future for Jasper and all those impacted by these devastating wildfires. #JasperStrong

Structural mitigation activities are funded through Indigenous Services Canada, but outside of the Emergency Management Assistance Program framework. The First Nations Infrastructure Fund and the Capital Facilities Maintenance program provide money for building, enhancing and maintaining structures and heavy equipment for emergency mitigation efforts. Follow us to learn more about how we are helping First Nations mitigate, prepare for, and recover from disasters through our Director of Emergency Management and Emergency Management Coordinator training program.

Forward Summit West 2024 is a wrap. It was a great conference with good communication, great service at a top notch venue. Sponsoring the food sovereignty meant diving into this issue with an emergency and disaster management lens as a way to place it in the context of a response. First Nations are taking control of their food but there is a long way to go.

Economic Development is a critical function of disaster recovery. Hazardscape is quickly becoming one of Canada's go to Disaster and Emergency Management firms. This week we are supporting Forward Summit in Calgary as we develop relationships that will empower Indigenous economies.

Canada is not well prepared for disasters and emergencies, your community and your members can be. https://lnkd.in/gwcxtXvb
