Description (French)
Ce projet renforcera l’engagement du Conseil tribal Bimose à soutenir les opérations de recherche et de sauvetage (R-S) dans les régions éloignées, afin d’améliorer les capacités de prévention, de préparation et d’intervention dans dix communautés des Premières Nations. L’équipement et la formation contribueront aux mesures de prévention et de préparation, notamment en permettant de pratiquer et d’améliorer les stratégies de R-S, afin que les équipes R-S soient bien préparées. Le projet sera supervisé par la coordonnatrice de la gestion des urgences du Conseil tribal Bimose, qui assurera la distribution de l’équipement et la coordination de la formation auprès des communautés membres du Conseil tribal. Des activités de mobilisation et de promotion seront menées par le Conseil tribal Bimose dans le cadre de leurs événements Fire Smart et de prévention des incendies, afin d’assurer une participation adéquate au projet proposé.

Une formation régulière permettra aux équipes R-S de rester compétentes dans l’utilisation de l’équipement et de s’adapter aux nouveaux défis.
