INDUSTRY Confuses government & politics Wants absolutes “It’s in our fenceline” belief MUNICIPALITY Uses vague language Wants one-window approach, rarely offers it Mind-changing SEES THIS SEES THIS Process Hurdles
MITIGATION PROCESS • Assess and Analyze Risk • Individual and cumulative • Determine Acceptable Level of Risk • Consult and draw the line • Document – Inform – Consistently Apply • e.g. create standard as bylaw and uphold Could the unacceptable risk have been mitigated?
Was the risk acceptable? Was it accepted?
Mitigation - Where We Are • Various mandates = “protect the public” • Emergency Services integrated into all parts of municipal planning & development • Risk assessment guidelines backed by land use bylaw • “Buffer Zones” established • Development reserved areas • Very involved with industry
Mitigation – Path Ahead • Planned Protection Guide • Update to risk assessment guidelines • LUB-enshrined planning criteria • Judicious use of tools: • e.g. “Hudson Decision”, bylaws, development setbacks, hearings AFC equivalencies • Reviewing Cummulative risk • Influencing & educating neighbours
PREPARATION PROCESS • Understand Expectations • Reasonable, community-based • Determine Capability • Resources (tools & people) • KSA’s of People • Document & Act • Mutual/automatic aid, SOG’s • Valid training & exercises Are we prepared for this?
MAA/MOU Basics • Core elements: • Division of responsibilities • Mutual expectations • Resources offered to each other • Key contact information • Know responsibilities and authorities • Common media approach and incident management framework
RESPONSE PROCESS • Inform and Involve • Notification – inclusion – expectations - enlistment • Define acceptable outcome • Right for the public (& each other) • Work to objectives • SMART; Progress/achieved? Can we respond to this?
PRE-ESTABLISHED WORKING RELATIONSHIPS = POSITIVE OUTCOME
