Video - Emergency Preparedness: Building Resilient Systems, Organizations and Communities. Presentation by Karen Mann

Karen Mann describes the City of Red Deer's Emergency Response process and typical items to review for emergency preparedness. In the context of the Plains pipeline break upstream of the City of Red Deer in June 2012, Karen Mann makes the case that emergency preparedness is about resilience. There are economic consequences to not being prepared.

Karen Mann is Emergency Management Coordinator with Red Deer Emergency Services. Her presentation was part of the CWRA/WPAC Joint Conference, Red Deer, Alberta, March 13-14, 2013.
