National consultations on disaster mitigation
PSEPC engaged in national consultations with public and private-sector stakeholders to define and refine Canada’s National Disaster Mitigation Strategy (NDMS). The consultations were intended to obtain views on the scope, policies and mechanisms for coordinating and implementing disaster mitigation activities in Canada.
As a starting point for dialogue, the discussion paper provided a concept of disaster mitigation and a rationale for a national disaster mitigation strategy. It proposes a possible mitigation framework. The discussion questions were used to stimulate ideas and dialogue.
Please note that some of the following documents were published before PSEPC was created in 2003. Thus they reflect the old departmental name, Office of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Emergency Preparedness (OCIPEP). We hope this causes no confusion.
