[CANUFNET] Emergency Forestry Plan Query

[Judith Cowan]

Hi Deanna,

 

We are a forestry and urban forestry consulting company and would be
interested in developing a Forest Emergency Plan for the Town of Pelham and
learning more about this initiative. What would be the next steps?

 

Best wishes,

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
