Emdad Haque, one of the CDSN co-directors, explains the theme of this workshop: nature triggered extreme events. We are at the Canadian Museum of Human Rights.
The trends are not good.
Canadian trends are bad: numbers and magnitude
Next up is Nirupama Agrawal of York who co-leads this @[email protected] theme teal on nature-triggeres emergency operations
@[email protected] kicks off his presentation with a good Canadian joke. He served in the CAF during the Red River flood. #CDSN #DomOps
Great point that the planning that occurs is political but so is the planning that does not occur, Ankersen continues with the personnel crisis #CDSN #DomOps
@[email protected] presents a great discussion of vertical and horizontal moral hazards. Also whether CAF last resort and only option, if doing safety, does the CAF than also do security? Military as agent and as auditor? Lots of important contradictions. #CDSN #DomOps
@[email protected] really embraces my fave lyric from Free Will: even if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. So, I asked him to decide. He recommended making the provinces pay. #CDSN @[email protected]
Next up is Major Nate Malazdrewicz
He is the liaison officer to Manitoba. And to a whole bunch of other actors. Love this slide #DomOps #CDSN
He invokes both SSE and unlimited liability. And then briefs in organization, ranks, trades to get us to a common understanding
Very interesting
Here's the big one. Lots of stuff recently

CAF is great at general labour: sandbagging, logistics, can do stuff that requires minimal training. Van do planning, reconnaissance.

When CAF should be considered. But when is it? #DomOps #CDSN

My interpretation of Major Nate's answers is that the CAF says yes to requests that fall short of the criteria. Better news is that there are regular meetings of the CAF liaisons from each province, territory ton share lessons learned.
