(An Emergency Planner situation retrospective) Vito Mangialardi, CBCP, PMP, MTS Allstream On December 21 a freezing rainstorm hit much of southern and eastern Ontario, southern Quebec and New Brunswick. Hundreds of thousands of people were left without power, including about 350,000 in Toronto, as the ice buildup downed hydro lines and trees. Roads were covered in ice and caused widespread travel delays. How did the City of Toronto and critical infrastructure providers fare with preplanning, response and recovery? Was anything learned and implemented from the 2003 Eastern North America Blackout, or the 1998 Ice Storm which also struck Ontario, Quebec and into Nova Scotia? What can be learned (best practices) from these events that can be applied to preparing Manitoba (both urban and rural communities) for similar events? A2 Can the Landscape and Infrastructure Resilience Assessment (LIRA) Tool Help Reduce Rural Manitoba s Flood Risks? Harvey Hill, Ph.D., Manager, Climate Decision Support and Adaptation Unit Communities need to have better risk assessment and response methodologies.
