1/2 I was supposed to leave just after 15:00. It is now after 19:00 & still hanging with the bear with another hour to go. My experience so far - rental car agent stayed late to see if I needed to get my car back. Offered to come back if we get stuck to get us cars after hours.

2/2 team of people bought delivery pizza for the entire waiting room and security and gate agent staff. Bathroom stalls open out so you don’t need to wrangle luggage around an inward swinging stall door. These are some of the many reasons I love small towns like #smithers

Recently, the ACRD hosted a tabletop exercise to better understand the coordination of setting up a Reception Centre for the delivery of Emergency Support Services (ESS) in the event of a large-scale emergency. Thank you to all the volunteers & agencies who attended!

Beautiful morning after a busy weekend supporting a multi-day functional exercise in #toronto with the #calian #emergencymanagement team. #emergency #exercise #DOMPOS #preparedness #canadian

When your team has an #ottawa #nhl fan on it but you are running a #socialmedia #simulation as part of your #exercise, you have to include some good natured ribbing. #EMGTwitter #preparednotscared #calian

Amazing spring evening - after a few weeks away working with clients to build preparedness related to natural hazards facing Canadians, I am so grateful to get to enjoy some down time walking the beach after work. #lovewhereyoulive #lovewhatyoudo

Worth the read if you’re interested in #EmergencyManagement from the perspective of an #Indigenous national body that spans multiple jurisdictions. I am honoured to have worked on this project with my team @CalianGroup under the guidance of Dr slambert metisnation.ca/uploads/docume…

When this is your selfie roll for the week, it has been a good week!

Great topic at #PIEPC by Dr K. Starbird on #crisis #information

Great opportunity for us to consider how we are personally prepared - do you know your zone? Tsunami is NOT expected, but remember we can do a lot to be personally prepared by knowing our zone and what our personal actions should be for future events. www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/pub…

Next week I am focused on a WestCoast emergency #preparedness #exercise. I’ll be working with a great team and I know we are prepared to run an amazing event. This weekend, I get to enjoy the sun while #camping with my kiddos :-) #parentingisbetteroutside #WorkLifeBalance

We are having an Ask An Expert - Earthquake and Tsunami Webinar for students who are in Grades 5-12, tomorrow 1:30-2:30PM. Please re-share with your networks. Event details are in the graphic and you can find the link in our bio. Our experts are ready to answer your questions!

Public notice from #19wingcomox on a large-scale multi-agency training exercise scheduled for this Wednesday (May 17). For the safety and security of the public and exercise participants, Air Force Beach will be closed to the public.

I was very thankful to play a small part in this important regional preparedness initiative! Also love it when on day 3 in a new role I can jump right into driving up to a local hospital and begin exercising codes! #alwayslearning #resilience

As of noon tomorrow, May 18, Category 2 and Category 3 open fires will be prohibited across the province in the interest of preventing human-caused wildfires. #BCWildfire Info bulletins issued locally by each fire centre are available online: blog.gov.bc.ca/bcwildfire/tag…

#BCWildfire strongly urges residents and travelers of B.C. to plan, prepare, and stay informed of the current wildfire situation this long weekend. 🔥Respect fire bans and restrictions 🔥Dispose of smoking materials responsibly 🔥Avoid off-road vehicle use in tall, dry vegetation

Such a great example of regional coordination and cooperation. It was an honour to be a part of this exercise!

BIG thanks to BC Wildfire Service for this great video showing the unique wildfire situation at Cameron Lake Bluffs on #BCHwy4 and to EVERYONE responding to the fire and its impacts. 🙏 The highway remains closed. Detour in place: bit.ly/3Xds7Oh DriveBC #Tofino #PortAlberni
