Emergency Preparedness

Seems life a quiet group.
I have been involved in Emergency Preparedness on a community basis for awhile.
I work with my neighbours and with my union.
This is a workbook that a colleague and I produced.

I am wondering what others are doing on a household or neighbourhood basis to be more prepared.

Hi Ann! I havent heard from you for years! I have not been very successful trying to bring this idea to Surrey...people are just not interested. And just today I was watching the Climate Central projections for sea level rise...would love to have a coffee with you one of these days if you are around. Email me at: sil_diblasio@yahoo.ca

The Dunbar Earthquake and Emergency Preparedness group is pleased to invite you to our upcoming community discussion on how communities play a key role in improving disaster response and recovery.

Our invited speaker is Carly Benson, the Community Resilience Manager for the City of Vancouver’s Office of Emergency Management. Carly was until recently the Director of Emergency Management for High River, a community of 13,000 people just south of Calgary. High River suffered a devastating flood in 2013 and Carly spent four years developing their emergency management program to rebuild resident, investor, and Council confidence. Carly has been deployed to most of the major disasters in Alberta’s recent history, from the Slave Lake wildfire in 2011 to the High River floods in 2013 and the Fort McMurray Wildfire in 2016.

Carly will share her insights with lessons learned and the importance of a strong and involved community working together to rebuild after a devastating disaster has struck. We encourage you to come and join the conversation. And please share the invitation with your neighbours, colleagues and friends.

Date: November 16, 2017
Time: 6:30 to 7 pm
Place: Dunbar Community Centre, Room 202
