The RMA has released a member survey to better understand the impacts that the 2023 wildfire season had on rural municipalities
Following the 2023 wildfire season and in preparation for future wildfire seasons, the RMA understands the value in bringing together impacted municipalities to discuss experiences, challenges, victories, and lessons learned. As part of this information-gathering process, a wildfire impact survey was sent directly to all mayors, reeves, and CAOs this week.
The RMA will use the information gathered in this survey to determine how we can best directly support members in building wildfire capacity and sharing best practices, as well as to advocate to the Government of Alberta for specific improvements to their mitigation, planning, response, and recovery approaches moving forward.
Individual responses will not be publicized, and overall results will only be shared in aggregate form. The deadline to submit this survey is January 19, 2024. The RMA is requesting one response per municipality.
