Response to the Pan Canadian Civilian Response Capacity Consultation

Civilian Response Capacity, Fire Departments and Local Emergency Management 

Read the CAFC’s full submission here.

In January 2024, the federal government circulated a draft of its plan of advancing a Pan-Canadian Civilian Response Capacity. CAFC was pleased to partake in this review and to share our submission above. 

CAFC’s response was developed with the support of the Board and National Advisory Council members. The thrust of the submission is that any type of Civilian Response Capacity has to be coordinated locally. The submission helps to remind the federal government of the roles of fire departments, many of which are the designated emergency management coordinators.
