First Nations wildfire evacuations : a guide for communities and external agencies

Summary: "This book belongs in every band council office and on the bookshelves of anyone involved in emergency management. It provides valuable guidance for First Nations, agencies involved in carrying out or providing support during wildfire evacuations, and host communities. Nearly one-third of wildfire evacuations in Canada involve Indigenous communities. While evacuations are carried out to protect people from smoke and flames, deciding to leave brings its own challenges. Based on interviews with evacuees from seven First Nations, this book outlines how Indigenous communities and external organizations can best prepare for the different stages of an evacuation, including: deciding when to leave; putting a plan in motion; troubleshooting transportation; finding accommodation; caring for evacuees; returning home. With climate change increasing the likelihood of wildfires around the world, this book is an invaluable resource for any community at risk from fire."--
