Kulig RECOMMENDATIONS FOR COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS AND MITIGATION “It definitively was a shocking experience. And I think most people have been effected, but have been able to come back, and get back with their life. It’s something I know of people of Slave Lake: people would stand and bounce back.” (Community Member) T H E S L A V E L A K E FIRE S M A Y 2 0 1 1 LESSONS LEARNED “You were looking to the right, where cars were coming from, and this black wall of smoke and embers is coming at you as quick as you can imagine. Like a freight train. That is when I started to say: ok, this is reality, I need to evacuate. But I always thought that I would have a house to come back to. I never thought that my house would burn. For some reason I never thought that our town would ever burn.” (Community Member) Photo Courtesy of Michael J.

Kulig MD of Lesser Slave River No. 124 The morning of May 14, 2011 was like any warm, sunny Saturday. Because we live in the boreal forest, we are no strangers to forest fires. When we saw smoke south of the Town of Slave Lake, no one thought much of it. Even later that day when residents were evacuated from nearby hamlets, and the MD and the Town declared a State of Local Emergency, there was little alarm. However, by early afternoon on Sunday, with winds reaching 100 kilometres per hour and several threaten- ing fires in the region, we knew this was a real emergency. The three fires resulted in an evacuation of 10,000+ area residents for 12 days, required the combined efforts of some 1,700 emergency responders, and caused an estimated $1 billion of damage. In the year since the fires, we have learned how resilient and downright tough our people are. The recovery is slowly taking shape, and we are confident we will rebuild to be stronger than ever. One of the biggest lessons we learned was that there is no established guidebook or recipe for disaster re- covery. This has brought our communities closer together. We have developed new governance structures that allow for greater collaboration and joint decision-making. We have reinvented ourselves. We have had to think differently. We are a community, working together to heal. Lastly, we are grateful for the tremendous support we have received and continue to receive from the Gov- ernment of Alberta and the people of Alberta and Canada. We never knew we had so many neighbours, both near and far!

Risk factors for poor health such as farther travel distance to reach health care services, increased smoking rates and a higher preva- lence of obesity have higher incidences in rural communities. Significantly higher rates of blood pressure and arthritis in rural and northern areas of Canada also contribute to decreased health status. While taking personal measures to enfo.agt.bme.hu/drupal/en.gallery/3506 improve health is an important step, Disasters in Rural Areas rural dwellers report a lower likeli- hood of taking action to improve their Natural disasters are events that stretch the re- yagotta.ca/destinations/ health.
