Description
COVID-19 and recent storms have raised questions for everyone, including the CAF:
i) What are the sub-regional institutional capacities to prepare for, respond to and recover from extreme events?
ii) What are the current arrangements and practices in multi-level and cross-sectoral institutional coordination?
iii) How can the prevention and mitigation measures be improved? What can we learn about the role of armed forces from other comparable countries by studying contemporary emergency cases?
This theme will:
i) research existing response systems;
ii) build networks among CAF, civil society actors, provincial and municipal governments; and
iii) prepare future generations to deal with emerging challenges. Building on the strengths of CDSN and the Canadian Risk and Hazards Network, this theme draws together reserve forces components in Manitoba; the Royal Military Institute of Manitoba; and CDSS.
