International Aid for Chile
FY 2022-23 · 2023-02-21
Summary
The objective of this Project is to enhance disaster response capacity and coordination, foster the development of new capabilities, and to increase capacity to prepare for and respond to wildfires in Chile. The Government of Chile declared a state of emergency in the regions of Araucanía, Ñuble and Biobio due to wildfires and has requested international assistance. Countries are increasingly dependent on each other to provide mutual aid during wildfire emergencies, with Canada requiring support from international partners in most years. It is important that Canada assist other countries in their times of need also, to sustain this system of reciprocal assistance. In assisting Chile, Canada contributes to increasing its own resilience to natural disasters such as wildfires by ensuring the global community is equipped and ready to assist us.

Description (French)
L'objectif de ce projet est d'améliorer la capacité et la coordination de la réponse aux catastrophes, de favoriser le développement de nouvelles compétences et d'augmenter la capacité de préparation et de réponse aux feux de végétation au Chili. Le gouvernement du Chili a déclaré l'état d'urgence dans les régions d'Araucanía, de Ñuble et de Biobio en raison des incendies de forêt et a demandé une aide internationale. Les pays dépendent de plus en plus les uns des autres pour s'entraider en cas d'urgence liée à un feu de végétation, et le Canada a besoin du soutien de ses partenaires internationaux la plupart des années. Il est important que le Canada aide également les autres pays en cas de besoin afin de maintenir ce système d'aide réciproque. En aidant le Chili, le Canada contribue à accroître sa propre résilience face aux catastrophes naturelles telles que les feux de végétation en s'assurant que la communauté mondiale est équipée et prête à nous aider.
Expected Results
This Project will provide lessons learned back to Canada, as part of the after-action review, for the benefit of Canada's domestic and international firefighting capabilities. This Project will facilitate and expand existing relationships with international fire management agencies to the benefit and the enhancement of the health and safety of Canadians.
Expected Results (French)
Ce projet permettra au Canada de tirer des leçons, dans le cadre de l'examen après action, au profit de ses capacités nationales et internationales de lutte contre les incendies. Ce projet facilitera et élargira les relations existantes avec les organismes internationaux de gestion des incendies au profit de la santé et de la sécurité des Canadiens.
