Emergency Preparedness

Emergency Preparedness

Emergency preparedness includes all activities, such as plans, procedures, contact lists and exercises, undertaken in anticipation of an emergency. The goal of the emergency preparedness activities is to make sure that the Sq’éwqel Community is ready and able to respond quickly and effectively in the event of an emergency.

We ensure that provincial and local authorities are capable of mitigating hazards and mounting coordinated and effective responses to the needs of the public in the event of a disaster.

Natural Disasters: Earth Quake, Flood, Landslides, Droughts, Wild Fires, and more.

Human Caused Disasters: Train Derailment, Highway Accidents, Highway Closures, Chemical Spills, Community Lockdown, and more.
