Today was day 1 of 3 supporting the Metis Nation in its Emergency Management journey and supporting their citizens. Decolonizing Emergency Management is a priority for Hazardscape. As we look to the future of Canada and its Indigenous peoples, in the context of disasters, helping them to secure funding without conditions is a primary aspect of self-determination. The Metis Nation is a partner and resource that all non-Indigenous communities, with the provinces, territories, and federal government, should be engaging with in the development of their emergency management programming.

As an emergency manager, I found the report of the Emergencies Act Inquiry very interesting. Setting aside the political rhetoric, there is a need to modernize emergency management at the federal level. Communications, coordination and collaboration are core principles that need to be utilized in major incident management.

I wrote these words in October 2019 after a senior provincial person asked for my view on the [then] review of emergency management legislation. With current events, the recent Premier's message, and the imminent release of the new EM legislation I decided that it was worth sharing my thoughts from a few years ago in this blog. I've left in words like "should be included" etc. as it was written in 2019 and did not want to change too much of the messaging. Being humble, and reflective, there are a lot of synergies with what we now know. Sharing the summary with some piers recently the reply was "Looks like someone was drinking the Koolaid early on." A more strategic emergency management framework for British Columbia is not just a theoretical concept—it's a tangible step toward safeguarding our communities and resources. Incorporating these elements into any framework can enhance our ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. https://lnkd.in/gisVwnuc #SAFER #RedDragon #emergencymanagement #britishcolumbia #sendai
