Lessons Identified - General
• Provincially our local authorities are well prepared to respond.
• We need a more all hazard approach as we tend to be flood and wild fire focused.
• Public education– There is a very fine line between making a
youtube video and starring on youtube!

EMO/DRIE Central Lunch
Specific Lessons - Health Services• Psychological sense of normalcy
– Re-entry in a tornado zone much different than flood• Determine and prioritize all who were affected
– The need to balance medical advise against the needs of victims to be engaged
• Emotional and physical needs of community– Public meetings– Community engagement of psycho-social agencies
• Ongoing assessment of community needs– Long term psycho-social impacts

EMO/DRIE Central Lunch
Specific Lessons - DFA
• Most large scale DFA has been flood focused– Need to build data base of other hazards
• Some financial recovery must be centrally led due to synergy issues– Wooded pasture
• Insurance while widely subscribed for homes is not always taken for business/farm– Fence lines– Farming structures
