Canadian Wildfire Response

As one of the most intense fire seasons on record has unfolded right here at home in Canada, ADRA has been working both on preventing and responding to wildfires. The most recent flare-ups in British Columbia, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories have prompted us to conduct needs assessments in the affected areas. Find out more about what kinds of things we are looking for when we prepare our response to a wildfire, as well as what it might take for you to stay safe in an emerging wildfire situation. This episode features Eric Hansen - a wildfire prevention specialist working alongside organizations like IFNA (Independent First Nations Alliance) to manage wildfires - as well as the new manager for our National Programs: Ray Fankhauser. You'll gain new insights from them about how big these wildfires can really get, what other countries are doing to assist Canada, and how the wisdom of Indigenous communities has been indispensable for fire safety in Canada. Follow ADRA Canada on all of our social media to stay up to date about all of our projects related to wildfires!
