KITIMAT FIRE AND AMBULANCE SERVICES QUARTERLY UPDATE

26 GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE 27

• Overall Organization – Managed by the Fire Chief • Fire Prevention and Education – Managed by the Deputy Chief of Prevention • Operations and Training – Managed by the Deputy Chief of Operations • Field Operations – Managed by the Shift Captain • Emergency Program – Managed by the Fire Chief • ESS – Managed by the ESS Director 28 MISSION, VISION AND STRATEGIC PLANNING

• Important to not lose focus of the sole purpose of why a fire department exists. • Planning for occurrences that will take place in the future requires both discipline and organization and a clear understanding of the current and projected risks that are introduced within the community. • Planning considerations based off of three distinct levels: • Tactical planning • Operational planning • Master or long term strategic planning • Awareness of and planning for current and future challenges should be part of any strategic planning process.

• BASED ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS • PROPERTIES WITH HIGH FIRE AND LIFE RISK REQUIRE GREATER NUMBERS OF RESOURCES (PERSONNEL AND APPARATUS) TO EFFECTIVELY MITIGATE THE EMERGENCY • STAFFING AND DEPLOYMENT DECISIONS MADE WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE LEVEL OF RISK WITHIN A GEOGRAPHICAL AREA • BASED OFF OF ZONING DESIGNATIONS AND LAND USE PLANS • For Example: Service Center and South contain mostly low to moderate risk with high risk commercial and/or industrial infrastructure. • UNLIKE MEDICAL RESPONSE THAT FOCUS DIRECTLY ON HUMAN LIFE, FIRE PLANNING IS INTENDED TO PROTECT BOTH LIFE AND PROPERTY RESPECTIVELY. • AREAS OF HIGHER POPULATION DENSITY TYPICALLY GENERATE A HIGHER SERVICE DEMAND AND GREATER RISK VALUE • COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL AREAS ARE A VITAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND TYPICALLY HAVE A HEAVILY POPULATED WORKFORCE.

33 CURRENT AND PROJECTED CHALLENGES

CURRENT PROJECTED • Increase in Community Risk • Apparatus requirements • Population • Increase in infrastructure size • Introduction of high risk infrastructure • Increase in need (wildfire needs) • Service demand and service delivery • Motor Vehicle Accidents (Bus/large vehicles) • Environmental Change Environmental changes • • Wildfire threat • Wildfire threat • Flood • Flood • Facility (Fire Hall) • BCAS call volume increase • Training demands and requirements

34 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM • EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT (EM) IS THE DISCIPLINE OF PREPARING FOR, RESPONDING TO, RECOVERING FROM, AND MITIGATING NATURAL AND HUMAN-CAUSED DISASTERS. • PROVINCIAL EMERGENCY PROGRAM ACT SETS OUT THE BROAD RESPONSIBILITIES FOR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WITHIN THE PROVINCE OUTLINING THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES, PROVINCIAL MINISTRIES AND CROWN CORPORATIONS. • SECTION 6 (1) – “A LOCAL AUTHORITY IS AT ALL TIMES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIRECTION AND CONTROL OF THE LOCAL AUTHORITY'S EMERGENCY RESPONSE.” • SECTION 6 (2) – “A LOCAL AUTHORITY MUST PREPARE OR CAUSE TO BE PREPARED LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANS RESPECTING PREPARATION FOR, RESPONSE TO AND RECOVERY FROM EMERGENCIES AND DISASTERS”. • SECTION 6 (3) – “A LOCAL AUTHORITY MUST ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN AN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT EMERGENCY PLANS AND OTHER PREPAREDNESS, RESPONSE AND RECOVERY MEASURES.”

35 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM • IN SUMMARY, A LOCAL AUTHORITY MUST:  define the potential emergencies that could affect their jurisdictional area  provide policy guidance and direction to emergency management organizations  conduct an assessment of the risk of occurrence and the potential impact of a hazard on people and property within their jurisdictional area  establish procedures for review and revision of local emergency plans  conduct training and exercises for all emergency response staff  identify procedures for obtaining emergency resources, including personnel, equipment, facilities and financial resources  establish procedures by which the local emergency plan is to be implemented  establish procedures for notifying persons threatened by emergencies  coordinate the provision of food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and medical services to victims of emergencies  establish priorities for restoring essential services.
