Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - A new disaster preparedness app is about to be deployed in seven Vancouver Island communities. Pilot projects will be launched in the Village of Tahsis, District of Tofino, City of Parksville, Town of Qualicum Beach and City of Nanaimo next month. Preparations are underway to bring the project onstream in the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District. Dr. Ryan Reynolds and team of UBC researchers created the Canadian Hazards Emergency Response and Preparedness Mobile App (CHERP) to help communities create preparedness, communication, evacuation and on-the-day emergency response plans for local hazards and potential disasters. “The initial version that I built as part of my PHD work was pretty slim compared to what we have today,” said Reynolds. A thorough list of details makes it possible to individualize plans for every household. For example: Do you have mobility issues? Or medical issues? If you live in an apartment, what floor are you on? Is someone in your household menstruating? Or incontinent? Do you have pets? Reynolds traces the origins of the CHERP App back to his study of how 450 Port Alberni residents responded to the tsunami warning triggered by the Alaska earthquake of Jan. 23, 2018. While the vast majority of residents evacuated the area within an hour of the alarm being sounded, there was some confusion. A number of people didn't know if they were in the inundation zone. There were traffic jams as vehicles sought to reach higher ground. The reception centre was not ready to receive evacuees for almost an hour. Reynolds concluded that more detailed information was needed in the community's emergency planning. “The Strathcona Regional District was one of the first groups to reach out for us, so we've done a pilot for the village of Tahsis,” he explained. While everything from small to large communities are in the program so far, Reynolds says he has yet to work with an island. The Capital Regional District has expressed an interest in this for the next phase of the program. “It is a very different look to evacuate the city of Nanaimo than, for example, Quadra Island – where you have either local boats or personal boats to use, or you have to deal with the ferry,” he said. “We can't make ferries go faster, that is up to other groups, but we can at least help people to be prepared to be on those ferries a little more quickly.” Q/ Let's suppose that either Cortes or Quadra Island wanted to go forward with this program, what would be the cost? Reynolds said the program does not charge communities for the app, but they would need to provide the necessary information. (This includes any associated costs, like collecting data.) “Assuming that we are able to show this is working and is actually useful to residents, I think we will be able to start looking at alternative edge communities,” said Reynolds. “Bringing them in so they are no longer edge, making them equal citizens within our app.”

Wildfire is an essential process in forest ecosystems, but can be incredibly destructive in the wildland-urban interface. Wildfire is driven by climate, weather and fuels that vary among ecosystems and through time. The combination of land-use change, fire exclusion and global warming have made many forests highly susceptible to intense fires that are difficult to control and contain. Revolutionizing forest and fire management will improve ecosystem resilience to climate change, but we will not stop future fires from burning. Successful adaptation must also include individuals and communities learning how to coexist with wildfire. What does this mean for the upcoming fire season in British Columbia? Are there specific fire risks we need to pay attention to in the Capital Regional District? Hear a presentation from the UBC Faculty of Forestry's Professor Lori Daniels, MSc'94, followed by a Q&A that was moderated by UBC's President & Vice-Chancellor, Professor Santa J. Ono. Presented in partnership with the UBC Faculty of Forestry.
