Annex 3
HAZARD ANALYSIS
The Town of Lynn Lake has recognized the following hazards and has mitigation plans to reduce
the impact of such hazards on its residents, their property/properties and the environment. The
hazards are:
- Forest Fire;
- Chemical/Hazardous material Spill;
- Blizzard;
- Water plant failure
The prioritization of these hazards was done using a qualitative model called the FEMA model
showing below:
HAZARD ANALYSIS
Hazard Analysis is the collection and analysis of past and present data relating to natural and man-
made emergency and disaster events for the purpose of determining future probability of an
emergency or disaster.
The model used for hazard analysis was developed by the American Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
Directions
When determining your community's potential for an emergency, it is suggested that a group of
five to seven people assist in the analysis. The group can be made up of fire, police and ambulance
personnel and persons knowledgeable in your community's history.
Using the "Ratings of Community's Disaster Probability" sheet, have the group determine which
events have the greatest probability of occurring based on past history. From this, choose the events
that have a high probability to nearly certain probability, (that is, the events that have the numbers
4 or 5 circled) for consideration in the FEMA model.
Each event that has been selected is evaluated in five areas, History (historical data), Vulnerability
of the Population, Vulnerability of Property, Maximum Threat, and Probability. Each area is
assessed on a low, medium or high basis.
Low
=
1 point
Medium
=
5 points
High
=
10 points
Page 37 of 97
Explanation of Categories
History
A knowledge of the community's history is required for this category. Based on a 100-year
history, how many times did an emergency or disaster occur.
Vulnerability of People
Each time the emergency or disaster occurred; what percentage of the population were affected.
Vulnerability of Property
Each time the emergency or disaster occurred, what percentage of property in the community was
destroyed or damaged.
Maximum Threat
Based on the type of emergency or disaster, on a percentage basis, how much of the community
was affected.
Probability
Probability is the likelihood that a particular emergency or disaster occurring in a year. For
example, in Winnipeg, the chances of having one hazardous material spill in one year is a certainty
(the probability is greater than 1 in 1). However, a tidal wave is not probable, as such, the
probability of this occurring is 0.
Note:
For each category, the rating is multiplied by the applicable weighting except the two
Vulnerabilities. The Vulnerability of People and Vulnerability of Property scores are added
together and divide by 2. The resultant number is multiplied by 5.
Determining Hazards
The History rating is multiplied by 2
Score A
Vulnerability is multiplied by 5
Score B
Maximum threat is multiplied by 10
Score C
Probability is multiplied by 7
Score D
The resultant scores are added together. (i.e. A + B + C + D = Total) Total
What should a community consider as a potential hazard?
Any hazard that rates over 100 should have a contingency plan. In this case, Hazardous Materials
should be a concern to the Town of Lonely Plains. Those hazards which rate under a 100 may not
be of sufficient concern to warrant a specific contingency plan. The community should rank the
hazards according to score, that is, from highest to lowest. The highest scoring hazard is the
emergency that will most likely happen.
Example: In the Town of Lonely Plains
Page 38 of 97
Using the "Ratings of Community's Emergency Sheet" Hazardous Materials emergencies had a
"nearly certain probability" for the Town of Lonely Plains. The Hazardous Materials rating on the

Annex 7A
EVACUATION
EVACUATION REQUIREMENTS
GENERAL
In the event it is necessary to evacuate people, the procedures listed below must be observed.
WARNING
In addition to the General Warning (Section 1), The Emergency Operations Centre Management
Team will ensure that:
Precise information is disseminated to the general public as to the danger involved, and the
actions to be taken;
Hospitals, schools, personal care homes, group residences and private residences in the affected
area are notified; and,
Reception communities are notified.
TRANSPORTATION
It is anticipated that the majority of people will provide their own transportation.
The Transportation Manager, or in his/her absence a designate, will make arrangements to
evacuate persons without transportation (i.e. occupants of Hospitals, Schools, Personal Care
Homes and Group and Private Residences).
REGISTRATION AND INQUIRY
The Emergency Coordinator or Emergency Social Services Director must inform the host
community's Emergency Coordinator that an evacuation is underway.
Provide the host community with the following information:
- Number of people to expect.
- Means of transport.
- What personnel from the evacuating community will be assisting the host community.
- Ask the host community's Emergency Coordinator where the Reception Centre will be
located. (Give the location to evacuees through media announcements and/or evacuation
notification).
Names of people evacuating as well as how they left (in own vehicle, etc.), where they are
heading to (a lot of evacuees will seek out family/friends so that address is required), and their
contact information. The evacuees have to be registered with Red Cross in order to receive any
assistance from provincial ESS staff (food coupons, clothes, etc.).
All evacuees whether providing their own transportation or utilizing emergency transportation,
must be instructed to register at a designated location. Information recorded will be utilized to
answer inquiries regarding the safety and location of evacuees.
Page 57 of 97
ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL
In any emergency, there may be animals (farm and household) left behind. Provision for the
removal and/or feeding of animals may be required and should be done with the advice of a
veterinarian or Manitoba Agriculture. Animals can be removed to stock yards, community
pastures or to nearby animal shelters in other communities. Buildings or homes with animals
inside should be listed and identified with surveyors' tape. The disposal of dead animals should
be done in consultation with Manitoba Agriculture.
SECURITY
During the emergency evacuation period, police will establish and maintain security of the area
evacuated.
EVACUATION GUIDELINES
COMMUNITY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES
Many types of emergencies or disasters may require that all, or a portion of a community be
evacuated. An evacuation may be so sudden that preparation by a community's Emergency
Operations Centre Management Team may not be possible, while in other emergencies there
may be adequate time to implement an orderly evacuation. Displaced evacuees could be moved
to reception centres while others will choose to stay with friends or relatives. Many people will
move themselves in their own vehicles while others will require transportation to move out of the
affected area.
Possible Problems in Evacuations
Establishing and maintaining an orderly evacuation
Verification that all citizens have left their homes
Security of evacuated area
Transportation needs of evacuees
Preparation and safety of community for re-entry
Re-establishing utilities and services to community (normalizing or recovery from the
emergency)
Meeting the needs of evacuees through the Emergency Social Services Plan

PRE-EMERGENCY
MAYOR/REEVE AND COUNCIL
❑ No actions, at this time.
EMERGENCY COORDINATOR
NOTE: It is well advised for the Emergency Coordinator to delegate many of the tasks found in
this guideline.
❑ Prepare an Evacuation Emergency Kit, consisting of the items listed under resources. A 24-
hour contact list should be maintained for tow trucks, vehicles with loud hailers and with
flashing lights, buses and vans. A list should be maintained of those people who require
assistance (handicapped) or those who will need transportation in an evacuation.
❑ Training of evacuation teams i.e., how to notify residents of an emergency, the method of
determining whether or not all citizens have been notified (see attached notes on evacuation
team)
❑ Identify alternate reception centre sites for evacuees within the municipality.
❑ Arrange reception centre sites with neighbouring municipalities.
❑ Train Emergency Social Services Team on responsibilities in event of evacuation or the
hosting of evacuees.
❑ Have the Transportation Manager arrange for buses, vans, and if required, boats and aircraft.
❑ Determine need for some members of the evacuation team to remain in the community to
help monitor security and safety.
EMERGENCY COORDINATOR
❑ Review of Emergency Social Services Plan within the scope of other emergency response
plans.
❑ Pre-plan evacuation routes with police and Transportation Manager. Consider publishing
these routes in the local newspaper.
❑ Develop a 24-hour media contact list of radio and television stations, who would be willing
to broadcast the notice of evacuation, information and advice to citizens.
❑ Determine evacuation needs of special facilities. (Coordinate with responsible officials of
schools, nursing homes and hospitals.) Special care facilities plan should be incorporated
within the municipal plan.
❑ Designate Assembly Points (where evacuees can be picked up and evacuated.)
MAYOR/REEVE AND COUNCIL
❑ Implement Emergency Plan, in whole or in part.
❑ Is Declaration of State of Local Emergency required? (i.e. will there be a need to exercise
emergency powers over those currently granted to a municipality?)
❑ Mayor or Reeve should announce to the public the reason(s) for Declaring a State of Local
Emergency and need for evacuation.
❑ Notify MEMO if there is need for provincial resources or assistance.
❑ The formal decision to order an evacuation must come from a majority of council or the
Mayor/Reeve.
❑ Designation of area to be evacuated (all or part of the community)
Page 59 of 97
EMERGENCY COORDINATOR
❑ Notify affected persons, that an order to evacuate has been issued. If it is safe for members
of the evacuation team, have them go door-to-door to notify residents. Have evacuation team
hand out Evacuation Notices and mark homes with chalk or tie fluorescent surveyor's tape to
the door of evacuated homes. The use of vehicles with loudspeakers can be utilized to notify
residents. (Have evacuation team keep records of addresses visited, the date and time and
results of each attempted visit.)
❑ Notify evacuees who have no means of transport where to assemble, and delegate assistance
for those who cannot assemble on their own. Have Transportation Manager arrange
transportation to these people.
❑ Implement registration of evacuees (if possible), otherwise, register evacuees at reception
centre. Use voter's list or telephone directory as a guide of citizens.
EMERGENCY COORDINATOR
❑ Set up security perimeter around evacuation area - use road barricades to block streets.
❑ Designate evacuation traffic routes - use pre-made traffic signs.
❑ Establish a citizen's inquiry line at the Reception Centres to help disseminate information or
advice to citizens on the evacuation and progress of emergency mitigation efforts. Establish
and use this number through the media. You could also use the citizens' inquiry line as a
method of informing evacuees where to register.
❑ Have the host community's Emergency Social Services Director implement their Emergency
Social Services Plan. (open reception centres or notify reception community of emergency
and how many evacuees may be coming to their community.)
❑ If it is safe for the evacuation team to do so, conduct a door-to-door a check again and mark
empty homes with fluorescent surveyor's tape. Some members of the evacuation team may
be required to perform periodic security checks of the community.
❑ Disconnecting of utilities, water, sewer, gas and telephone.
EVACUATION TEAM
It is important to develop a means of notifying the citizens of your community that an emergency
has occurred. Notification of residents can be carried out by various methods. There may be the
need for utilising the evacuation team to perform a door-to-door notification of the emergency or
disaster. Once the evacuation of affected residents has occurred it is important to know whether
there are people who did not evacuate. The evacuation team can determine if all residents have
left the community by doing a door-to-door verification check. Remember, do not jeopardise
the safety or lives of the evacuation team.
The evacuation team should be comprised of members of the local authority, municipal workers,
RCMP, municipal police, Provincial Response Teams and volunteers.
The evacuation team will be required to:
a) Establish responsibilities and procedures for making the decision to evacuate;
b) Establish priorities and procedures for the phased evacuation of the people who remained in
the community during the emergency, including the evacuation team;
c) Establish a method to warning all persons remaining in the community; and
Page 60 of 97
d) Establishing a procedure to ensure all personnel (including evacuation team) are accounted
for in case of evacuation.
The training of the evacuation team should consist of:
- How to conduct an orderly door-to-door method to contact all residents in the event of an
emergency, including the delivery of the "Official Notification of Evacuation" form;
- The importance of noting the time of notification.
- Providing security to the evacuated area (consult RCMP/Police);
Page 61 of 97
Annex 7B
RE-ENTRY GUIDELINES
COMMUNITY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES
It is important for the safety of the evacuees that the re-entry process be conducted in an
organized fashion.
Possible Problems
- Citizens must be informed of dangers in community, if there is still a threat to life and health.
- Traffic congestion
- Anxious citizens.
Resources
- Utility companies (Hydro, Telephone, Gas, Water and Sewer System) Hospitals/nursing
homes
- Local food store, gas stations
- Buses, vans and tow trucks
POST EMERGENCY
MAYOR/REEVE AND COUNCIL
❑ Mayor/Reeve and Council should assess whether or not the community is safe to re-enter
(Consultation with Emergency Coordinator, Emergency Site Manager and Provincial
Response Team personnel.)
❑ Council may consider terminating State of Local Emergency before the commencement of
re-entry to the community.
EMERGENCY COORDINATOR
❑ Ensure that the community is safe for re-entry, consult with Emergency Site Manager and
Provincial response team personnel.
❑ All essential utilities and services should be restored prior to the re-entry
❑ Arrange to have streets cleared of debris (public works). Determine if roads, highways and
bridges are safe for evacuees to return on (consult with Provincial Highways and
Transportation).
❑ Arrange for the disposal of dead animals. Advice can be sought from local veterinarian
and/or Manitoba Agriculture.
❑ Transportation must be co-ordinated - many residents will return in their own vehicles,
however some will require transportation assistance (bus, plane, train or car).
❑ Implement Re-entry Checklist (attached to this section)
❑ It may be necessary to arrange additional security patrols during and shortly after re-entry of
citizens
❑ Arrange a "town hall meeting" for the purposes of providing information to residents from
the provincial/federal response agencies (i.e. what happened during the emergency and
providing advice or information to concerned citizens such as preparation of food, warning of
hazards, changes in their environment, methods of compensation, if any). An information
handout containing the same advice and information should be prepared and passed out to
returning citizens.
Page 62 of 97
RE-ENTRY CHECKLIST
The purpose of this Checklist is to assist the Community Emergency Coordinator, with the
re-entry phase. Many sections of this checklist may or may not apply to the re-entry procedures.
Returning evacuees will be very anxious returning to their community. One of the Emergency
Coordinator's objectives in the re-entry phase is to prepare the community, so as to lessen the
anxieties of returning citizens.
RE-ENTRY, For the Community know as, The Town of Lynn Lake

community may be better prepared to assist these individuals a few days after the initial
re-entry].
Page 65 of 97
TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Preparing for an Emergency
The Transportation Manager is responsible for developing a list of vehicles that may be utilized in an emergency.
This list could include: buses, vans, tow trucks, dump trucks, heavy machinery, boats, private aircrafts, all terrain
vehicles and four wheel drive vehicles.
In the event of an evacuation, it is probable that a significant portion of evacuees will provide their own
transportation. However, when there is no road access, the local authority will have to contact the province, who
will arrange transportation by aircraft or rail.
In an evacuation of a community, the Transportation Manager may be asked to obtain transportation for any of the
following persons - who have no vehicle, the physically challenged, nursing homes, hospitals, special care facilities
clients or who are in schools.
The Assembly Point, a place where people gather so that they can be transported out of the community, will be the
Town Office (Lynn Inn) parking lot.
During an Emergency
The Transportation Manager should ask the police for the evacuation routes out of the community. The
Transportation Manager should give evacuation route and assembly points information to the Public Information
Manager for immediate release to the media. The same information may be placed in the Official Notification of
Evacuation for and distributed to the public.
The Transportation Manager should contact people who have buses and other vehicles to ensure that these resources
are available for use during the emergency.
The Transportation Manager should contact the school and hospital to see if they require transportation assistance.
A list should be maintained of people who are being evacuated by aircraft, bus or alternate transportation. The list
will help in identifying who left the community and by what means. This should be done primarily by ESS
personnel who can be augmented by Transportation personnel.
The Transportation Manager may be called upon to coordinate vehicles to transport workers and emergency
supplies.
Evacuation "Convoys"
In organizing a "convoy" of evacuees vehicles, the last vehicles leaving the community should be tow trucks and an
ambulance (if an ambulance can be spared). The Tow truck should be available to repair tow stranded motorists on
while the ambulance is to provide support in a health emergency during the convoy's trip. The "lead" and "tail"
vehicles should be radio equipped to communicate the progress of convoy and report on any complications.
Post Emergency including Re-entry
The Transportation Manager may be required to organize transportation for re-entry of the residents to the
community. Residents will be dropped off at their residence by the bus or alternate transportation will be provided
from drop off point. The post emergency phase deals with recovery of the community to a normal state. The
Transportation Manager may be called upon to coordinate special vehicles for the clean-up and recovery of the
community.

Annex 7D
Hosting Plan
Hosting
The Town of Lynn Lake currently has the facilities to accommodate a very limited amount of
evacuees, however has had a decrease in the human resources available to facilitate their
arrival and stay in the community.
Annex 7E
EMERGENCY PUBLIC INFORMATION PLAN
An emergency public information plan is an essential tool for your community to use during an
emergency. Without it, a co-ordinated media response is unlikely.
An emergency public information plan should contain:
- a check-list for setting up a media centre and assigning staff to public information tasks;
- a step-by-step outline for managing news conferences and overall guidelines for dealing with
the media in an emergency;
- fill-in-the-blank work sheets for writing news releases;
- guideline for when information should be released and who should approve it before it goes
out;
- an up-to-date list of local media phone and fax numbers;
- suggestions for communicating with affected residents and ensuring they feel connected to
what is happening in their community; and
- a fan-out list of people who can be called to work on the public information portion of an
emergency response.
Once developed, three copies of your emergency public information plan should be
distributed to key personnel.
(I.E. Council and Mayor, Emergency Co-ordinator, Municipal Administrator, Media
Information Manager.)
One copy should be held in their offices, one should be kept at their home and one should
be in their car.
EVACUEE INFORMATION
During an evacuation, the Public Information Manager should provide frequent and regular
reports to the receiving community for distribution to evacuees. Reports should include
information on what is happening in their home community. If known, a general time for re-
entry can be communicated. To avoid disappointment and stress for evacuees, an exact date
should not be given until it is absolutely confirmed.
Items such as an evacuee newsletter or an evacuee telephone inquiry line will also go a long way
to helping evacuees feel connected with what is happening in their community. Volunteers from
Page 67 of 97
the affected community should staff the inquiry line, so callers will feel more comfortable about
discussing their concerns.
PREPARING FOR THE MEDIA
An emergency will attract media attention and you must be prepared to handle media who show
up at the emergency site or call the EOC for more information. To keep your media response co-
ordinated, the Public Information Manager should be responsible for:
- Establishing a media briefing room;
- Establishing times for media briefings;
- Arranging media interviews for Council and/or Mayor/Reeve and Emergency Site Manager;
- Preparing and issuing news releases outlining the status of the emergency response;
- Arranging a media tour once it is safe; and,
- Monitoring news stories to ensure they are accurate and notifying the media when
inaccuracies occur.
Once it is safe enough to do so, a tour of the emergency site should be arranged for the media.
The only way to significantly cut down on the number of media coming to the site, is to give
them the opportunity to take pictures of the actual emergency area.
ISSUING INFORMATION TO THE MEDIA - NEWS CONFERENCES AND
RELEASES
The media is one of your best sources for reaching the public. Information given to the media
must accurately explain the emergency, the dangers involved and the actions that will be taken to
mitigate the emergency's effects. The Council and/or Mayor/Reeve and/or Emergency
Coordinator should authorize all information that is released to the news media.
The most common way to release information to the media is through a news release or news
conference. News releases should be issued on a regular basis to keep the media up-to-date on
what is happening. By issuing regular news releases via fax machine/email, you can
significantly cut down on the number of media telephone calls you receive. News release should
include factual statements about the emergency and what you are doing to rectify the situation.
The information can be prepared in point form to make it easier to write and read.
In general, a news release should include:
- What happened
- Where (name and location of the emergency site or facility involved);
- When (the time of the incident);
- The number of injured, deaths if any;
- The name of the hospital(s) where injured persons are being taken (do not discuss how the
injuries occurred or the extent of the injuries, or the identity of the injured or dead until all
information is confirmed and family members have been notified);
- What your community is doing to rectify the situation;
- Any other facts not in dispute; and, names of appropriate local, provincial and federal
agencies that have responded to the emergency.
When you have a lot of important information to give the media or when you have numerous
requests for personal interviews, you should hold a news conference. A news conference allows
Page 68 of 97
the media to ask questions and gives them access to several emergency responders at once.
Holding at least one daily news conference throughout an emergency is important, in helping
you get your message out and helping the media get their story.
Before holding a news conference, prepare a brief opening statement that provides an update on
the emergency and outlines how you are responding. Familiarize yourself with the statement and
try to refer to it but not read it when you first speak to the media.
Provide the media with access to a spokesperson from responding agencies at your news
conferences. This is a good time management tool because it allows you to arrange for the
media to speak to all agencies at once rather than organizing a lot of separate interviews.
Hand out an up-to-date news release and a fact sheet that includes basic background about the
community and the incident. This will enable the news media to report with more accuracy
when writing the story.
Whenever possible, try to monitor media coverage to ensure the reports are accurate. Where
necessary, correct any inaccuracies by calling the reporter directly.
HANDLING MEDIA INTERVIEW
Some points to consider when interviewed by the media:
- Always give factual information - do not speculate;
- Always tell the truth;
- Keep opinions to yourself;
- Never respond with "No comment" it implies that you or your community is hiding
information;
- If you are unsure of the answer to a reporter's question, don't guess - tell the reporter you'll
provide the correct information as soon as possible, and then do so;
- Remember the differences between the media and adjust your answers accordingly -
newspaper uses much more detail than radio and TV (radio and TV need brief, concise
answers)
- Anticipate media questions (for example, reporters will ask the five W's (who, what, where,
when and why) and possibly a sixth question "what will the community do now?".

Evacuation Reminders - 2019
With summer and subsequently fire season approaching the Town of Lynn Lake wishes to
advise residents of some important information in the event of an evacuation.
- If the nature and/or magnitude of the emergency requires the warning of the general public,
the following will be done - Information will be distributed by loudspeakers on police
and/or fire vehicles, Town Office front window, announcements on NCI - 96.9 F.M., and
door-to-door warning by volunteers.
- For residents without transportation you are requested to make prior arrangements with
friends or family for a ride to the host community. Alternate arrangements to evacuate
persons without transportation will also be provided. The assembly point will be the Town
office (Lynn Inn) parking lot.
- Residents with vehicles are advised to keep their gas tanks reasonably full at all times.
- If an evacuation is called remember to take money, credit cards, identification, medication,
infant food and diapers if needed, clothing, personal hygiene items, and pets if you are
leaving by your own vehicle. If time permits you should turn off your water, lights,
appliances, etc. and lock your house.
- During the evacuation, we always receive calls from people asking if we know where a
certain person is. It is very important that you register with the host community who will
relay the information to us so that we can tell your relatives and friends where you are
staying.
- If you are interested in helping during an emergency whether an evacuation or a reception
site for evacuees, please stop in at the Town Office and fill out a volunteer form.
- Please be careful and report any suspicious fires to the Sustainable Development (DNR)
at (204)356-2413 or use the Province of Manitoba toll free line at 1-800-782-0076

State of Emergency and Powers
What is an Emergency?
There are five characteristics of an emergency, which help define it as such:
- Loss of life, or potential for loss of life.
- Abnormal situation.
- Clear potential for damage to property or environment.
- Requirement for a quick response.
- Response measures beyond those normally employed.
Essentially all five elements must be present to constitute an emergency.
The State of Local Emergency declaration begins on the same date and time as the resolution
is passed. Therefore, this date should correspond with that at the top of the declaration and
also the date in the third paragraph, immediately preceding the signature block at the bottom.
This date will be 14 days after the date of the declaration.
i.e. If a declaration is made on the 15th day of the month, the same declaration would expire
at 23:59 of the 29th day of that same month. There are, however, provisions in the Act for
either earlier termination or extension beyond this expiry date.
DECLARATION OF A STATE OF LOCAL EMERGENCY
The Council, or in the absence of a quorum of council, the Mayor/Reeve may declare a State
of Local Emergency. This decision is usually made after consulting with members of the
Emergency Operations Centre Management Team and especially with the Emergency
Coordinator and Emergency Site Manager.
Upon the declaration of the State of Local Emergency, the Council and/or Mayor/Reeve
shall notify:
- The residents of the community
- Manitoba Emergency Management Organization; and
- Neighbouring municipalities and communities as may be required.
The extraordinary powers listed below plan can only be utilized after the council, or in the
absence of a quorum of council, the Mayor/Reeve have declared a State of Local Emergency.
