Presentation Description

On October 2, 2012 grassland fires whipped through the Rural Municipality of Stuartburn, resulting in evacuations of residents and destroying 4 homes in the town of Vita. Later that same week, thousands of residents in the same area were without power due to an ice storm. Thick ice and fallen trees blown over by wind and heavy weight of snow brought down power lines.

This presentation will offer an overview of how these two separate and yet connected disaster events were managed from three different perspectives: that of the Emergency Measures Coordinator in the region, Emergency Social Services and Manitoba Hydro. Participants will gain insight into the realities of executing community level and corporate emergency/service continuity plans, where things went well and where improvements can be made.

Presenters

• Nicki Albus, Regional Emergency Manager - Eastern Region, Emergency Measures Organization
• Jodi Pluchinski, Director Emergency Social Services, MB Family Services and Labour
• Richard Hollands, Corporate Emergency Response Coordinator, Manitoba Hydro  

*Luncheon consists of buffet sandwiches, salads, soup and desert. Please let us know at least 2 days in advance if you have food allergies or dietary preferences.
