The Government of Alberta is proposing changes to Alberta’s emergency management legislative framework
Bill 8, the Emergency Management Amendment Act was introduced in the legislature on April 3, 2018. The Bill proposes changes to the rules and regulations with the intent of helping communities improve their response to disasters. It would also provide the ability to create a new Local Authority Emergency Management Regulation that would give direction on emergency management practices for municipalities. Through this call, the Alberta Emergency Management Agency is requesting to engage with you, their stakeholders, on the proposed changes.
Municipal stakeholders can provide input by completing the Alberta Emergency Management Framework Review Discussion Guide or attending an in-person engagement session.
