CDA Institute 
In this episode, Christopher Ankersen (Clinical Professor, Center for Global Affairs, NYU), Jean Slick (Program Head and Associate Professor in Disaster and Emergency Management, Royal Roads University), and Gordon McBean (Professor Emeritus and Director for Policy, Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction at Western University’s Department of Geography) discuss the potential for a civilian-led response mechanism to address increasing instances of climate-related crises and disasters in Canada.
We delve into the role of mutual aid agreements, interoperability, and coordination between jurisdictions as crucial aspects of addressing personnel shortages during multiple disasters. The panel highlights the importance of enhanced training, particularly with indigenous communities, and the significance of common operating systems.
The discussions also cover policy recommendations, such as adopting frameworks for disaster risk reduction and establishing better governance structures. Overall, the experts emphasize the importance of proactive planning, resource coordination, and collaboration to effectively respond to disasters and address climate change in Canada.

Clap trap….
The title of this video may as well be bad Forest management and climate terrorist arson fires. Because that would be closer to the truth.
What a joke. Climate change, yeah right. What about the numerous people that have been arrested for arson in connection with these fires? Was climate change also responsible for one of the largest wildfires ever that occurred in 1910? You "experts" are so full of shit.
