Keeping Your Community Safe
Tailoring Your Disaster Preparedness Plan to Meet Your Community’s Unique Needs
When it comes to emergency preparedness in Canada, many communities—especially those in rural areas—don’t have the resources to manage the challenges of increasingly frequent disasters.
A prepared community is a resilient community. Each community has its own unique cultural, social, and economic needs that must be addressed during disaster recovery. A tailored disaster preparedness plan helps communities of all sizes get ready to tackle recovery and work to stop disasters before they’re likely to happen.
Create a disaster preparedness plan that fits your needs
Being prepared helps streamline recovery and ensures your community can continue to thrive over the long term in the wake of disaster. This whitepaper outlines how community-centred preparedness can increase the benefits of a disaster recovery plan.
In this white paper, you’ll find:
The critical components of an effective disaster preparedness plan.
What it means to establish a foundation for disaster restoration and resilience.
Why community engagement is essential for disaster planning.
How to conduct community engagement to establish a strong preparedness plan.

""Coldwater would not have gotten as far with recovery works nor gotten the services our evacuees or Band received without RIC."
The Coldwater Band has benefited from Rebecca Innes Consulting (RIC) disaster recovery project coordination services. RIC has kept the Band on task and budget and ensured we keep contact with all that continue to assist us with recovery as there are many nuances that Band Administration would not necessarily have the time or skill to do throughout all phases of disaster recovery. Coldwater would not have gotten as far with all the recovery works nor gotten the services our evacuees or Band received without RIC.

"RIC went above and beyond to help us land over six figures in funding to support our recovery initiatives."
Before working with Rebecca Innes Consulting (RIC) we didn’t have a clear way forward from the catastrophic flooding, wildfire, and heat dome events of 2021. RIC helped us identify, assess, and implement a thorough strategy and project plan to help us rebuild our community.

"We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rebecca Innes Consulting to anyone seeking emergency management services."
The department of emergency preparedness and planning had the sincere pleasure of working with Rebecca on the Treaty 6 Emergency Preparedness Speaker Series. She was professional, knowledgeable, and engaging. Of note, the department found her ability to envision new ways of doing emergency preparedness particularly impressive.

"I believe that training like RIC provided will be key for all of us."
I believe that in the future, all Economic Developers will have to consider some degree of sustainability. Disasters are arriving faster than our capability to respond. That’s why I believe that training like RIC provided will be key for all of us.
