Canada: National disaster mitigation strategy
This Strategy is based on the recognition by federal, provincial, and territorial governments that mitigation is an important part of a robust emergency management framework, and that all stakeholders are committed to working together to support disaster mitigation in Canada. The purposes of this document are:
- To set out a common vision for disaster mitigation activities in Canada.
- To promote mitigation through a transparent National Strategy that integrates disaster mitigation into Canada’s evolving emergency management framework.
- To identify primary actions that will be undertaken by Federal, Provincial and Territorial partners to support implementation of the National Strategy. It is recognized that full implementation of the National Strategy will require a longterm effort.
