[CANUFNET] Emergency Forestry Plan Query

[Deanna Allen]

To Whom It May Concern,

I hope this message certainly finds you safe and well.

My name is Deanna and I work for the Town of Pelham as their Climate Change Coordinator. Part of my responsibility in this role is to create and implement a Corporate Climate Change Adaptation Plan. At this point in the planning stage, the Town has downscaled local climate data, identified the unique impacts posed by climate change, and has assessed each impact through a vulnerability and risk assessment. Based on the assessment results, we are looking at best municipal practices to the impacts that ranked highest in vulnerability and risk.

In respect to one of the Town's action items, which is "to cultivate resiliency within the Town's urban and rural forests and natural landscapes," do you know of any municipalities that have any emergency forestry plans in place? An emergency forestry plan is considered a best practice and thus the Town is interested in pursuing this idea. The City of Waterloo had mentioned that they will update their emergency forestry plan in their corporate adaptation plan, and but unfortunately they do not have a copy of the plan?

Basically I'm looking at developing a Forest Emergency Plan that will delineate protocols in the event of emergencies. It will also incorporate local climate considerations into the plan.

Thank you,

Deanna
