Introduction

INTRODUCTION:
The responsibility for the health and welfare of its citizens rests with the elected officials of a Municipal
Government. Every Municipality must be prepared to meet the threat that may arise from
emergencies or disasters.
The Town of The Pas, in accordance with the Province of Manitoba Emergency Measures Act s.m.
1987-88,C. 11 - Cap. E80, has chosen to develop an operational plan in anticipation of responding to natural
or man-made disasters. This document will not prevent nor reduce the possibility of an emergency
occurring. It will aid in reducing human suffering plus the loss or damage to property and the
environment.
Planning, in relation to an emergency situation, may be defined as the process of anticipating the
need for the application of resources and manpower plus determining the methods of obtaining and
applying these resources at the right time to achieve stated aims. As such, the content of this
Emergency Plan provides only guidance for the Town of The Pas.
GOAL:
The goal of the Town of The Pas Emergency Plan is to provide the earliest possible coordinated
response in order that the following objectives are assured:
1. Minimizing of the effects of an emergency or disaster on the Town of The Pas and its
citizens.
2. The protection and preservation of health and private property.
3. The restoration of essential services.
This plan does not alter or override the responsibility of Municipal Services (Police, Fire, and
Ambulance) to take warranted extraordinary action for the safety and wellbeing of the community
where time is of importance.
This plan does not supersede the individual's responsibility to have in place an individual or family
plan to deal with a community crisis. Indeed the preparation of the Municipal Emergency Plan should
encourage individuals and families to prepare their own plan and the role of local government is to
support these efforts through the distribution of information and the provision of educational
opportunities.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this plan is to provide for a prompt and coordinated response to emergencies or
disasters affecting the Town of The Pas.
EXCEPTION:
This plan does not apply to those day-to-day situations that are dealt with by Municipal Emergency
First Responder Services.
AUTHORITY:
This plan is authorized in accordance with Sub-section 8 (d) of the Province of Manitoba Emergency
Measures Act, and is adopted in accordance with Town of The Pas Resolution No.

Confirmation of Evacuees - Form Instructions
This form is to be used by municipalities as a "pre-check-in" for their residents. It is
meant as confirmation from the municipality that this is a supported evacuation and
therefore eligible for evacuation allowance. It is essentially a 'short-cut' for municipalities
when MB ESS is/or will be involved with the event. It can also be used by the
municipality in lieu of the Registration card.
This form would be useful when evacuees have time to check in and / or are travelling a
good distance to the host community. For example: Spring flood waters are rising in a
community X and the notice to evacuate has been given by the local authority.
Residents call or stop by the municipal office to check-in. Resident info is filled in on the
Confirmation of Evacuees form. This form/info gets faxed/emailed to MB ESS. The
residents head to the Reception Center or Hotel/shelter in the host community where
they are registered by MB ESS (DIRE form). Any needs noted by the local authority are
addressed.
1. Enter the Municipality.
2. RM Contact Name:
a. When faxed, who is MB ESS to ask for at the municipality? This should not be
the MEC unless he/she is actually filling out this form. Should be the ESS LEAD
or designate. If municipal admin staff is taking info, it should be their name listed
as contact.
b. Provide contact numbers and the name of the municipal emergency coordinator.
3. Evacuation Type:
a. Check which is applicable
b. Voluntary evacuations MUST be supported by the local authority. Those who
want to leave early for various reasons (scared/vacation) may not be eligible for
evacuation allowance.
4. Fill out Form:
a. This is essentially a preview of who/what is coming to the host community and
the needs required. Detail is not required. Yes/No/dog/cat is sufficient.
5. Days of Assistance and Starting from date:
a. This is a conversation that will be held with the community, EMO, and MB ESS.
b. To facilitate, please use one form per day. For example, 5 homes evacuated
April24th, all info on one sheet. On April 25th, another 3 homes evacuated - use
a new sheet.
Fax ahead to MB ESS at 204-948-2505 or to host community if MB ESS not involved.

Mitigation
60
MITIGATION:
Mitigation is the process of evaluating the various aspects of an activity or event in order
to determine the strengths and weakness of the response. From this analysis it can be
determined which are the necessary actions in order to maintain the strengths and improve
upon the weaknesses of any response to an activity or event. Within any Emergency
Planning Mitigation, the analysis may involve:
1. The development of a plan, regulations or legislation to eliminate the primary
cause of the event.
2. The development of regulations or legislation to limit the impact of an event.
3. The development of new procedural activities to improve business and individual
responses to the event or improve the municipality's response to the event.
4. The provision of new equipment to assist operating Departments to respond to
the event in a more effective and efficient manner.
5. The implementation of alterations to the Town of The Pas Response Plan.
MITIGATION ANALYSIS PROCESS:
Operationally there are 3 possible Event Mitigation Scenarios that could directly affect the
Town of The Pas Emergency Measures Organization. In order these are:
1st
The evaluation of an Emergency Measures Event Response:
Clearly after a response by the Town's Emergency Measure Response Team
is complete there is a requirement to undertake an analysis of the
effectiveness and efficiency of the overall departmental and EMO response.
Out of this analysis may come suggestions and recommendations to
improve, maintain or alter the EMO Hazard Response Plan. This process is
outlined in Figure 1.
2nd
The evaluation of a Departmental Response that escalates with EMO
Participation:
Emergencies, large and small, occur almost daily. In most situations, they
are handled totally by the Municipal 1st Response Units without the
participation of the Municipal EMO Response Team. On those rare
occasions when the involvement of the EMO Response Team, whether in
part or as a whole response, is requested it is essential to determine the
effectiveness of the EMO Response. In many cases there is no requirement
for significant additional planning for the EMO Response Team's efforts. In
some situations, there may be a requirement for additional planning to
improve the response to an existing identified community hazard or the
development of a new EMO Planning Scenario. This process is outlined in
Figure 2.
61
3rd
The introduction or discovery of a new Community Hazard:
New potential community hazards are being identified on an ongoing basis.
Whether the situation is a West Nile Virus or 9-11 it is incumbent upon the
EMO Response Team to give consideration to the development of a plan to
respond to similar events within the community. This process is outlined in
Figure 3.

Evacuation & Re-entry Plan

EVACUATION REQUIREMENTS
General
In the event it is necessary to evacuate people (Subsection 4.0.3 (e)), the procedures listed below
must be observed.
Warning
In addition to the General Warning (Section 2), the Local Emergency Response Group will ensure
that:
a) Precise information is disseminated to the general public as to the danger involved and
the actions to be taken;
b) Hospitals, schools, personal care homes, group residences and private residences in
the affected area are notified; and
c)
Reception communities are notified.
Transportation
It is anticipated that the majority of people will provide for their own transportation.
The Transportation Officer, or in their absence someone designated, will make arrangements to
evacuate persons without transportation. (eg. occupants of Hospitals, Schools, Personal Care
Homes and Group and Private Residences).
Registration and Enquiry
All evacuees, whether providing their own transportation or utilizing emergency transportation, will
be instructed to register at a designated location. Information recorded will be utilized to answer
inquiries regarding the safety and location of evacuees.
Security
During the emergency evacuation period, police will establish and maintain security of the area
evacuated.
RE-ENTRY PROCEDURES
Re-entry will be initiated as soon as possible but not before local and provincial authorities are
satisfied all appropriate preparations have been made (eg. the restoration of utilities and essential
services to homes and commercial establishments).

HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS FIRE
Nature of Hazard:
An accidental or purposely set fire where the presence of
products hazardous to the health and safety of the 1st
Response Units, the Public-at-large or the Environment is
present at the fire scene or beyond through dispersal of gases,
liquids or solids through smoke or drainage dispersal.
The involvement of EMO would be based on the nature of the
product and the potential for dispersal beyond the fire scene.
Climatic condition would have a dramatic impact on making
the decision to access resources beyond 1st Response Units
and municipal operating personnel.

STRUCTURAL FIRE
Purpose
The objective is to reduce the possible consequences of the emergency by, preventing fatalities,
injuries and reducing damage to buildings, stock and equipment. While considering the impact
on the environment and the community.
Situation
In most cases, your community's fire department response to any structural fire is sufficient.
However, the Fire Chief may encounter a fire that is beyond the fire department's capability. The
fire may require special equipment/techniques and more fire fighters. The Fire Chief may call for
support from neighbouring municipalities through the activation of Fire Mutual Aid.
Concept of Operations
Fire services are the lead response agency, responsible to protect and save lives, property and
the environment through the containment, control and suppression of fires. There are several
structures above two stories with higher population due to Hospital, Hotels and High Rise
apartment building, that with greater potential of fatalities and injury. This will provide the
necessity to move mass numbers in a short period of time.
Possible Major Effects to be considered
-
Threat to life and property (mass casualties)
-
Utility failure - power, water, sewer and telephone outages
-
Environmental emergency (dangerous good incident)
-
Evacuation of people and animals
Structural Fire Pre-Emergency
Mayor and Council
Review policies and procedures and make changes if necessary
Emergency Coordinator
Note: It is advised for the emergency Coordinator to delegate many of the tasks found below:
List contents of warehouses and stores which have dangerous goods
List buildings with elevators (people may be trapped inside an elevator during a fire).
Review and become familiar with Mutual Aid agreement with Fire Commissioner's Office.
Contact list of municipal personnel who would be able to increase water pressure in the
water lines so that the increased demand for water can be met
A list of utility emergency phone numbers i.e. propane gas, hydro. for the purpose of turning
off a utility in a fire emergency
List of persons requiring special assistance in leaving their home.
A list of personnel who would augment police to control crowds (municipal workers).
Review Evacuation Section
17
Train evacuation teams i.e., how to notify residents of an emergency, the method of
determining whether or not all citizens have been notified (see Evacuation Guidelines).
Emergency transportation may be required for evacuees, the Transportation Officer should
develop a list of available buses and vans
Coordinate hospital, nursing homes, business and industry emergency plans with the
community emergency plan.
Structural Fire Emergency
Mayor and Council
Implement emergency Plan, in whole or in part
Contact E.O.C. manager and determine location for Mayor and council to convene
Is Declaration of State of Local Emergency required? i.e., will there be a need to exercise
emergency powers over those currently granted to municipality? Notify MEMO of
Declaration
Mayor should announce to the public the reason(s) for Declaring State of Local Emergency
Notify MEMO if there is need for Provincial resources or assistance
Continual communication with residence via town hall session(s), social networking, local
media outlets and fan outs
Emergency Coordinator
Note: It is advised for the emergency Coordinator to delegate many of the tasks found below.
Some tasks will vary or not apply depending with degree/stages of emergency
Activate EOC
Implement Emergency Plan in whole or in part
Ensure the setup of Unified Incident Command and Sector Officers for Hot zone
Assist with establishing a staging area in a convenient location away from the hot zone
where all resources can stage before they are deployed in the hot zone

Guidelines. (See Evacuation and Re-entry guidelines)
If necessary, have ESS Coordinator implement Emergency Social Services Plan
Emergency Social Services may be required to activate emergency shelter, feeding and
clothing
Set up Evacuation/Reception Centre if required
Ensure pertinent information is passed to Reception Centre from the EOC in a timely
fashion
18
Structure Fire Post-Emergency

termination
Arrange for MEMO - Disaster Financial Assistance Board of Assess damages to community
Prepare to host a community event/street party on the one-year anniversary date of the
event especially where there has been loss of life
Emergency Coordinator
Note: It is advised for the emergency Coordinator to delegate many of the tasks found below.
Continue media releases/instruction to public
Initiate re-entry procedures. (see evacuation Re-entry Section of Emergency plan)
Have health and sanitation inspections done on food.
Continue EOC operations until coordination functions are complete
Review and critique the operation. Amend the emergency plan through feedback
Arrange for psycho/social counselling for volunteers, emergency workers and displaced
citizens if necessary
Contact MEMO - Disaster Financial Assistance staff for possible compensation
Restore utilities (phone, hydro and sewer)
Return rented or borrowed resources
Debrief with EOC
Prepare to host a community event on the one-year anniversary date of the event especially
where there has been loss of life
Supported Information
The Town of The Pas, as any other community is susceptible to structure fires. With several
buildings, Hospital, Hotels (Gateway), High Rise above two stories and occupied with more than
50 people, will require strategic fire suppression and evacuation. Other areas within the town
limits, Stittco propane, Petro bulk Gas and Esso Bulk can be subject to fire, explosions.

HAZARDOUS PRODUCT SPILL
Nature of Hazard:
An accidental or purposely split hazardous product could
threaten human life or the environment primarily through
dispersal as a gas or infiltration into the municipal drainage

DANGEROUS GOODS ROUTES
Nature of Hazard:
Municipal Dangerous Goods Routes, as established by
Municipal By-law, travel through the main urban and
commercial areas of the community. Any accident, particularly
involving a unit transporting a hazardous product will require
the involvement of the Municipal 1st Response Units and
Municipal Operations. The possible involvement of EMO may
rest on the volume of product and the potential danger from
infiltration into the Municipal Underground Infrastructure.

FLOODING
With the exception of Major Storm Events, the potential for a significant level of flooding are
normally known well in advance providing a significant planning period.
1.
The Town of The Pas experiences flooding in two forms:
(a)
Annual Spring Flooding of the Saskatchewan River has become a regular
occurrence within the boundaries of the Town. The issue is the varying degrees of
severity, which can be the result of either the level of snow during the winter
months or the amount of rain during the spring thaw. Generally the Town is well
aware of a potential for serious flooding and has the time to plan and prepare for
Spring Floods.
(b)
Flooding from major rainstorms is not predictable but has occurred over the few
summers causing minor damage of public property.
2.
During recent years there has been Spring Flooding, due to ice damming on the
Saskatchewan River. The length of an Ice Jam Event is fairly long, 7 - 14 days, and this
seldom requires the calling together of the EOC due to the short duration of the Event.
This flooding has caused significant damage to Public Property. The costs for such flood
damage have not been significant to the Town.
3.
Flooding of the Saskatchewan River, other than ice dams, has happened twice once over
the past 3 years. The primary difference between a River Flood Event and an Ice Dam
Event is the length of the event. A River Flood Event can extend over a period of 14 to 28
days creating a more dramatic potential for significant basement flooding, if spring rains
accompany such flooding. Of particular concern are impacts on the Municipal Wastewater
Infrastructure, situated on the River Flood Plain and the potential infiltration of river water
in the Land Drainage and Sewer Systems. The impact of both these situations would be
possible basement flooding throughout the Town.
4.
Overland flooding can be of significance only if the Spring Melt or a major Rainstorm Event
overwhelms the Land Drainage System. The most significant potential impact is possible
flooding of the drainage system which impacts the Bell Avenue Lift Station
5.
During the past 3 years the Town has experienced a minimum of 2 Flood Events during
the summer. This has put some strain on public expenditures. The length of each event
can be as long as 10 to 28 days. Generally the periods of serious public danger are
extremely short and present minimal danger to public-at-large. The primary issue is the
extended clean-up period. The scope of the damage is generally specific to public
property.

Flood Contingency Plan Issues
The following are the critical issues, related to the delivery the Flood Contingency Policy
Plan Priorities, which Council must decide upon:
1.
What additional role might be expected of The Pas' 1st Emergency Response
Units?
2.
What level of service will Town of The Pas Personnel provide in a flooding
situation?
3.
Under what conditions will the Town provide operational assistance, if
requested, to our surrounding Neighbours?
4.
What level of financial commitment is the Town prepared to provide to Private
Industry, Quasi-private Organizations and Private Home Owners?
E.
Flood Management Priorities
41
1.
Emergency Service 1st Response Units - Management Priorities
The Operational Priorities established for The Pas' Emergency 1st Response Units
(Police, Fire & Ambulance) during an Emergency Flood Event are:
1st
Extraction of citizens from a life-threatening situations
2nd
Fulfillment of the Departments Operational Responsibilities for Fire
Suppression and Prevention
3rd
Municipal Infrastructure Protection
4th
Assistance to citizens for private property protection
It is not the intent that in establishing these priorities we are discouraging
Emergency 1st Response Personnel from becoming involved in the sandbagging
of private property. The intent is to ensure there is a common understanding, in
the making of operational decisions, of the management priorities of the Town's
Emergency Service 1st Response Providers.
2.
Municipal Departments - Management Priorities
The operational priorities established for The Town's Municipal Departments are:
1st
Protection of Public Health & Safety Infrastructure/Facilities (ie
Hospital, Water & Wastewater Infrastructure, Fire Hall, Police
Office, etc.)
2nd
Support services to stranded individuals (ie Emergency Social
Services). This upon request from the surrounding Municipalities
may include the provision of support services to their Emergency
Measures Services Organizations.
3rd
Protection of Municipal Buildings and Facilities.
4th
Assistance to Quasi-private and private properties owners
5th
Protection of Municipal Properties
The plan does not intend to suggest that Town Personnel will not assist private
property owners. Our intent is to ensure the Public understands that there is a
requirement for the individual to assume responsibility for the protection of their
property. Town and other government resources will first be directed to the
Protection of Essential Municipal Services. Only after these essential resources
are secured, unless the situation is life threatening, will Municipal Resources be to
accommodate their very reasonable emergency request for assistance.
42
3.
Financial Commitment for materials
The priorities, for addressing the provision of financial assistance, during a flood
emergency are:
Advanced Emergency Assistance
1.
Property protection, in situations where the flooding is not due to a
natural feature, is the responsibility of the property owner. Therefore,
costs to protect private property flooding are the responsibility of the
property owner.
With this in mind the provision of Advanced Emergency Assistance, to
private property owners subject to property flooding, could be provided on
an at cost basis.
Emergency Situation
1.
During the Emergency Situation the assistance made available to private
property owners would be subject to the priorities established in item 1 and
2 Management Priorities 1 and 2 of this report. The provision of available
assistance for the protection of property will be at no cost to the property
owner.
2.
The provision of Financial Assistance to any individual, required by the
Town or any Senior Government, to evacuate their property shall be as
outlined in the Province of Manitoba Disaster Assistance Program.
Assistance will only be provided to individuals who register with the Town's
Emergency Social Services Personnel.
3.
The Town, at no cost to the individual, will provide:
a) Manitoba Disaster Assistance Applications Forms
b) Assistance in completing the Manitoba Disaster Assistance Application
c)
Such financial assistance as provided for under the Manitoba Disaster
Assistance Program, for extended residential absences due to the
disaster and not covered by the individual's basic insurance coverage.

THE TOWN OF THE PAS
POLICY GUIDELINES
For
FOR EVACUATION OF PROPERTIES
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Operational Priorities:
While the Town of The Pas understands that there must be a balance between the need to
ensure life safety and the desire to protect and maintain property it also recognizes the
following:
1.
That the primary responsibility of the Emergency Measure Policy is ensuring life
safety; and
2.
That the secondary Emergency Measures Priority is the continuation of
essential community services after the event; and
3.
That the third priority is the prevention of damage to private property.
The Nature of Water Movement
The Town of The Pas recognizes that flooding is of two types in The Pas. First is standing
water due to Land Drainage Problems or Ice Dams on the Saskatchewan River. Second,
is to the Saskatchewan River overflowing its banks. The primary difference between these
two types of water movement is:
Land Drainage/Ice Dam
River Flooding
- tends to be of short duration
- is of long duration
- tends to be still water
- can be moving at a speed
exceeding 100,000 cfs
Dike Structures
Dike structures in the Town of The Pas fall under two broad categories:
1st
Permanently constructed engineered structures
Permanent structures are engineered to protect to a design flood water level
with allowance for projected wind and wave action. The structures are
designed to take into account sub-soil conditions, anticipated hydraulic
loading and the properties of the material to be used in construction. Under
pre-established conditions properly engineered and maintained dike
systems offer safe and reliable protection.
44
2nd
Temporary dikes of earthen or sandbags type construction
Temporary dikes are often hastily constructed of various soils and materials,
lack engineering support and may not have sufficient compaction or sub-
base preparation. These dikes may be earthen, sandbag, soil and
polyethylene or of a wooden "flash board" type. The variability in design
and construction of these structures makes them less reliable, and
therefore, reduce the level of protection afforded the property and
communities they protect. Sandbag dikes over five feet high (three feet of
water protection) is not recommended.
EVACUATION POLICIES
1.
Notification
a) Wherever possible individual will be provided a minimum of 24 hours notification of the

the E.O.C.
Re-entering your home:
- Do not return home until authorities have advised that it is safe to do so.
- If the main power switch was not turned off prior to flooding, do not re-enter your home
until a qualified electrician has determined it is safe to do so.
- Use extreme caution when returning to your home after a flood.
- Appliances that may have been flooded pose a risk of shock or fire when turned on.
Do not use any appliances, heating, pressure, or sewage system until electrical
components have been thoroughly cleaned, dried, and inspected by a
qualified electrician.
- The main electrical panel must be cleaned, dried, and tested by a qualified electrician
to ensure that it is safe.
- Depending on where you live, your municipal or the provincial inspection authority is
responsible for the permitting process required before your electric utility can reconnect
power to your home.
Ensure building safety:
- Make sure the building is structurally safe.
- Look for buckled walls or floors.
- Watch for holes in the floor, broken glass and other potentially dangerous debris.6
Water:
- Flood water can be heavily contaminated with sewage and other pollutants. It can
cause sickness and infections.

FLOOD
Purpose
The flood response plan provides the policy, coordination procedures and response patterns for
a major flood.
Situation
Floods are one of the most prevalent natural hazards. Excess water from snow melt, rainfall or
storm surge accumulates and overflows onto the banks and adjacent flood plains
Concept of Operations
In dealing with potential flood, there is often sufficient time to lessen its impact on a community
through proper pre-planning. Our role is assisting the community in preparing for and
responding to a flood.
Possible Major Effects to be considered
-
Threat to life and property
-
Utility failure - power, water, sewer and telephone outages
-
Environmental accidents - rail/road accidents, contaminated water and dangerous
goods accidents
-
Severe structural damage
-
Erosion
-
Traffic disruption - stranded motorists, road/bridge/rail closures
-
Isolation of communities, homes, farms and livestock
-
Difficulties in attaining and delivering emergency services -fire, ambulance and
police
-
Food and water shortages
-
Evacuation of people and animal
-
Threat to public health.

Supported Information
In the past couple of years this area has witnessed up to 7 "- 8" of rainfall in a short period of
time creating flash flood conditions with intense rain/thunder storms from spring to fall. We are
also susceptible to large amounts of snowfall during winter months which has resulted in flood
conditions with rapid spring thaw. Furthermore the Saskatchewan River is a main artery to snow
thaw in Alberta's rocky mountain run off. Result in above normal, high water levels from spring
to mid-summer.

Hazard
Nature of Hazard:
A Winter Storm Event within Town of The Pas has the
potential to come in two forms. First, is a Blizzard with
snowfall and heavy winds making travel at best difficult and at
worst making roadway impassable. Although of significance
to facilities needing 24-7 staffing there is little or no loss in
terms of Provincial or Municipal Infrastructure Services and the
overall impact on the Community-at-Large is minimal.
EMO would become directly involved in the second potential
event being a Major Winter Storm accompanied by heavy
snow or ice, significant winds plus the loss of Provincial and/or
Municipal Infrastructure Services. The impact of such an
event
could
be
significant
because
most
institutional/residential facilities plus most family homes are
unprepared to function without Public Utility Services.

St. Anthony's General Hospital & St. Paul's Seniors Home (contact Glen Johnson 623-9200)
The St. Anthony's General Hospital & St. Pauls' Seniors Home share a large generator with a 500
gallon tank. This generator will run for approximately 48 hours on the fuel available in the system.
The generator runs all systems within the Hospital and St. Paul's, and therefore, the central issue
will be to ensure the continual availability of fuel.
WINTER STORM EVENTS
Although the potential does exist for a "Weather Advisory or Warning" regarding a Winter Storm
Event, the severity of the event is an unknown until the event actually hits the Community.
Therefore, some potential does exist for advanced planning but the reality is that Winter Storm
Events will not provide for an extended planning period.
1.
The Town of The Pas can experience Winter Storm Events in two significant forms:
(a)
A major Winter Snow Blizzard is a regular occurrence expected at least once during
the period from November 1 to April 15. The primary issues are the varying degree
of snowfall, wind and the period of time travel is restrictive within the Community.
Over a significant period of time such storms can prove detrimental to the operation
of Institutional Facilities and Emergency Services. Generally the citizens of the
Town are aware of the potential for such storms and although citizens in a non-
institutional setting do experience some difficulty, they can normally struggle
through these difficulties between the start of the event and when the roads are
once again open for public travel.
(b)
A major Winter Storm (Ice or Snow) Event knocking out municipal and public utility
services, particularly electrical and communication services, could be of far greater
significance to the citizens of the Town. The loss of electrical and communication
services could prove detrimental to the total population and extremely hazardous to
the Community's Institutional Population. In additional, if the timing of such an
event was during the normal school day the impact would be significantly more
dramatic due to:
(i) The large population of out-of-Town students at the University College
of the North; and
(ii) The large number of individuals, within the Town and Region, who are
employed outside of their Community; and
(iii) The large number of people from outside the Town but employed in the
Town, and
(iv) The Regional nature of services, particularly Emergency Services,
provided from the Town of The Pas.
65
2.
The length of both these events can be as short couple of hours and/or as long as 3 days.
Generally the significance of the event becomes more serious as the event extends to or
beyond 24 hours. Normally the greatest potential for public concern is the provision of
Immediate Emergency Services and Institutional Care.
3.
During the past six (6) years the Town of The Pas has averaged a minimum of one (1)
major Winter Snow Blizzard Event each year. In the major of instances, other than
restricting travel possibilities within and outside the Community, these events have had little
significant impact on the provision of Community Services. The Town of The Pas has not
experienced a major Winter Ice and Snow Event over the past six years.
4.
During the past six (6) years only two major Snow Events have had a significant impact on
the Institutional Facilities and Immediate Emergency Services within the Town of The Pas.
The primary institutional impact has been the inability for Relief Personnel to get to the
institutions. Over an extended period of time, this raises tremendous concern about
potential impacts on client care as staff become exhausted due to extended work hours.
The Emergency Services' primary concern has been the inability for Emergency Services
Vehicles to travel within and/or beyond the Community due an accumulation of snow on
streets and highways.
5.
Although the potential loss of Public Utility Services (Hydro, Telephone, Water and Sewer)
is of concern, these services have not been lost during any of the past Winter Storm
Events. Clearly the loss of Municipal and Public Utility Services would dramatically change
the impact of a Winter Storm Event and place a major burden on the Community's
Emergency Measures System.
A.
Possible Major Effects (Worse Case)

Note:
It is extremely possible that a significant Winter Blizzard or Ice & Snow Event could disrupt the whole or
a significant portion of the Town of The Pas, R.M. of Kelsey and Opaskwayak Cree Nation. Therefore,
the potential for significant support services from the Province may be severely limited. It is also very
possible that the Town of The Pas may become a Regional Reception Centre for individuals from
outside the Community.
67
D.
Winter Blizzard/Ice Snow Event Issues
The following are the critical issues related to the delivery of Worse Case Scenario Winter
Blizzard/Ice & Snow Event priorities, which Council may be required to decide upon:
1.
What additional role might be expected of The Pas' Immediate Emergency
Response Units particularly with respect to the provision of assistance to
Institutional Care Facilities?
2.
What level of day-to-day services will the Town maintain during such an
Emergency Event particularly if the event was to extend over a significant period
of time?
3.
Under what conditions will the Town provide operational assistance, if
requested, to surrounding municipalities?
4.
What level of financial commitment is the Town prepared to prove to assist
Private Industry, Quasi-private Organizations and Private Home Owners?
E.
Winter Storm Management Priorities
1.
Emergency Services Units Management Priorities
The Operational Priorities established for The Pas' Emergency Response Units
(Police, Fire and Ambulance) during a Major Winter Storm or Ice & Snow Event
are:
1st
Extraction of citizens from life threatening situations
2nd
Maintenance
of
Departmental
day-to-day
operational
responsibilities for the provision of Fire, Police and Ambulance
Services
3rd
Evacuation Assistance and Coordination
4th
Security of Public and Private Facilities
The critical responsibility of all Emergency Services Personnel is to ensure
citizens are comfortable that they will, in a life threatening situation, have
available to them no less than the normal level of Emergency Service. In
addition, should individuals be required to leave their homes, they must be
assured that their possession will be protected over a period of time that could
extend well beyond one (1) day.
68
2.
Municipal Departmental Management Priorities
The operational priorities established for the Pas' Departments are:
1st
The protection and maintenance of the Emergency Services
Communications Network assuming the loss of the Hydro
Manitoba and MTS Communications Grids.
-
Emergency Radio Network out of EOC
-
Public Access (Direct or 911)
-
Emergency Electrical Support in priority order to:
a) The Pas EOC and EOC Radio Network
b) St. Anthony's General Hospital
c) The Pas Municipal RCMP Detachment
d) The Pas Fire Department
Note:
This represents, initially, the provision of minimal services in order to
ensure that The Pas' Immediate 1st Response Units can maintain their
ability to address their first objective; removal of individuals from life
threatening situations. Once this initial work is completed, there will be
the need to expand these services to permit the EOC to begin to
address the long-term issues that will arise within the Community.
2nd
The provision of operational support to Institutions providing Life
Assistance Services within the Town of The Pas. Of particular
concern are the Community Health Care Facilities where moving
clients would create a great deal of difficulty for the clients and the
personnel.
Note:
Initially this represents the provision of minimal services in order to
ensure that the institutions can maintain a minimal level of immediate
support services to their clients. These services will have to be
expanded as quickly as possible, to ensure Institutional Clients and
Facilities do not become a continual drain on the Community
Emergency Response System and on the Communities need for
additional resources.
3rd
The provision of assistance, help or security, to individuals in a
Home Care or Life Monitoring System.
Note:
The Critical issue here is knowing locations, primary care provider and
as needed moving the individual to a better location.
4th
Sustaining the provision of Municipal Utility Services to the total
Community.
69
5th
The provision and establishment of Community Reception Centres
in order to ensure that if required such Centres can become
operational
during
the
Emergency
and
made
available,
immediately, to the EOC and the Public.
Note:
This represents, initially, the provision of minimal services in order to
ensure that Emergency Social Assistance Workers can establish the
Reception Centre and begin to receive and provide support to members
of the Public. As the timing of the event expands there will be an ever
expanding demand to provide additional resources and effort into the
provision of total Reception Centre Services.
6th
The development of a Community Information Network under the
assumption that all normal communications systems will be
disrupted by the loss of Manitoba Hydro and MTS Services.
7th
The planning for the evacuation of parts and/or all of the
Community, as necessary in order to sustain Basic Life Support
Services to citizens in a non-institutional setting.
Note:
The level of evacuation will be totally dependent on the ability of the
EOC to obtain or provide Utility Services to Institutions and Community
Reception Centres. Without Utility Services there may be a need to
undertake a total Community Evacuation.
8th
The provision of property security within part and/or all of the
Community depending on the need for undertaking an evacuation.
9th
The development and implementation of a Community re-entry
program including:
-
determination of an acceptable level of Utility Service
-
provision of all Utility Services
-
Critical Stress Debriefing for Emergency Personnel,
Institutional Personnel and Citizens
3.
Financial Commitment for Materials
The cost of addressing a major Winter Snow Event is covered within the annual
Snow Clearing and Removal Budget of the Corporation.
The mechanism for providing assistance during a significant Snow & Ice Event of
within an Emergency Measures Event are:
1.
Private Property Costs, in situations where evacuation is not
directed by Emergency Measures Personnel under a "State of
Local Emergency", are the responsibility of the Property Owner
and addressed through their insurance provider. This includes
any damages to Private Property.
2.
Private Property Costs, in situations where evacuation is directed
by Emergency Measures Personnel under a "State of Local
Emergency" are the responsibility of the Property Owner and
addressed through their insurance provider. This includes any
damages to Private Property. In a case of proven negligence on
70
the part of Emergency Measures Personnel the issue will be
addressed through the Insurer of the Town of The Pas.
3.
In situations where costs are not covered by an insurance
provider, the rules of the Province of Manitoba Disaster
Assistance Fund shall apply and the Town of The Pas shall
establish the personnel and the process for the making of Disaster
Assistance Claims by the Citizens of the Town.
4.
In situations where a "State of Local Emergency" has been
declared and individuals or directed to leave their place of
residence essential basic requirements - food, shelter and clothing
- shall be provided by the Town of The Pas under the regulations
of the Manitoba Disaster Assistance Fund only under the following
conditions:
a) The individual(s) has registered at a Town Registration
and Inquiry Centre prior to leaving the Community; and
b) The individual(s) can provide a receipt for all items
claimed as part of their costs of evacuation.
OR
a)
The individual(s) remain in a Reception Centre setting
provided by the Town of The Pas Emergency
Measures System; and
b) All items claimed are approved through a Voucher or
Purchase Requisition signed by a member of the
Emergency Measures Team with the appropriate
spending authority.
5.
Institutional Administrators, whether Institutional Care Providers or
responsible for facilities used as Reception Centres, may make
application to cover their costs to the Town of The Pas. After
confirmation of how these costs will be addressed by the
Provincial Departments, the Town will reimburse all cost that are
covered through the Manitoba Disaster Assistance Program. All
costs must be substantiated as required by the Manitoba Disaster
Assistance Program.
6.
All private enterprise or Community Association costs shall be
paid as per the Purchase Requisition or Voucher approved by a
spending authority of the Town of The Pas Emergency Measures
Organizations.
7.
Reimbursement to the Town of The Pas for the provision of
evacuation assistance to individuals from another Municipal
Corporation shall be at the 100% level as per the guidelines of the
Province of Manitoba Disaster Assistance Program.
71
WINTER PREPAREDNESS
-
Make sure you have at least one of the following in case there is a power failure:
o
Cell phone, portable charger, and extra batteries.
o
Battery-powered radio, with extra batteries, for listening to local emergency
instructions
-
Find out how your community warns the public about severe weather:
o
Siren
o
Radio
o
Local public health and emergency management websites
-
Listen to emergency broadcasts.
-
Make a Family Communication Plan . Your family may not be together during an
extreme winter event, so it is important to know how you will contact one another, how
you will get back together, and what you will do during an emergency.
-
Be sure to check on older neighbors and family members; assist as necessary.
-
Know what winter storm warning terms mean:
o
Winter Weather Advisory: Expect winter weather condition (e.g., accumulation
of snow, freezing rain, and sleet) that could cause severe inconvenience and life-
threatening hazards.
o
Frost/Freeze Warning: Expect below-freezing temperatures.
o
Winter Storm Watch: Be alert; a storm is likely.
o
Winter Storm Warning: Take action; the storm is in or entering the area.
o
Blizzard Warning: Seek refuge immediately! Snow and strong winds, near-zero
visibility, deep snow drifts, and life-threatening wind chill.
Heating Checklist
-
Turning on the stove for heat is not safe; have at least one of the following heat sources
in case the power goes out:
o
Extra blankets, sleeping bags, and warm winter coats
o
Fireplace with plenty of dry firewood or a gas log fireplace
o
Portable space heaters or kerosene heaters
72
-
Check with your local fire department to make sure that kerosene heaters are legal in
your area.
-
Use electric space heaters with automatic shut-off switches and non-glowing elements.
-
Never place a space heater on top of furniture or near water.
-
Never leave children unattended near a space heater.
-
Keep heat sources at least 3 feet away from furniture and drapes.
-
Have the following safety equipment:
o
Chemical fire extinguisher
o
Smoke alarm in working order (Check prior to winter storm season and change
batteries, if needed.)
o
Carbon monoxide detector (Check prior to winter storm season and change
batteries, if needed.)
-
Never use an electric generator indoors, inside the garage, or near the air intake of your
home because of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
-
Do not use the generator or appliances if they are wet.
-
Do not store gasoline indoors where the fumes could ignite.
-
Use individual heavy-duty, outdoor-rated cords to plug in other appliances.
Cooking and Lighting Checklist
-
Use battery-powered flashlights or lanterns.
-
Never use charcoal grills or portable gas camp stoves indoors. The fumes are deadly.
-
Avoid using candles as these can lead to house fires.
-
If you do use candles, never leave lit candles alone.
73
Food and Safety Checklist
Have a week's worth of food and safety supplies. If you live far from other people, have more
supplies on hand. Make sure you have the following supplies:
-
Drinking water
-
Canned/no-cook food (bread, crackers, dried fruits)
-
Non-electric can opener
-
Baby food and formula (if baby in the household)
-
Prescription drugs and other medicine
-
First-aid kit
-
Rock-salt to melt ice on walkways
-
Supply of cat litter or bag of sand to add traction on walkways
-
Flashlight and extra batteries
-
Battery-powered lamps or lanterns
(To prevent the risk of fire, avoid using candles.)
Water Checklist
Keep a water supply. Extreme cold can cause water pipes in your home to freeze and
sometimes break.
-
Leave all water taps slightly open so they drip continuously.
-
Keep the indoor temperature warm.
-
Allow more heated air near pipes. Open kitchen cabinet doors under the kitchen sink.
-
If your pipes do freeze, do not thaw them with a torch. Thaw the pipes slowly with warm
air from an electric hair dryer.
-
If you cannot thaw your pipes, or if the pipes have broken open, use bottled water or get
water from a neighbor's home.
-
Fill the bathtub or have bottled water on hand.
-
In an emergency, if no other water is available, snow can be melted for water. Bringing
water to a rolling boil for one minute will kill most germs but won't get rid of chemicals
sometimes found in snow.
74
Car and Emergency Checklist
Minimize travel, but if travel is necessary, keep the following in your vehicle:
-
Cell phone, portable charger, and extra batteries
-
Shovel
-
Windshield scraper
-
Battery-powered radio with extra batteries
-
Flashlight with extra batteries
-
Water
-
Snack food
-
Extra hats, coats, and mittens
-
Blankets
-
Chains or rope, tire chains
-
Canned compressed air with sealant for emergency tire repair
-
Road salt and sand
-
Booster cables
-
Emergency flares
-
Bright colored flag or help signs
-
First aid kit
-
Tool kit
-
Road maps
-
Compass
-
Waterproof matches and a can to melt snow for water. Paper towels
75
SEVERE WEATHER (CONTINGENCY)
(INCLUDING BLIZZARDS, SNOW/ICE STORMS, WINDSTORMS AND TORNADOES)
Purpose
Establish the policies, coordination procedures and response patterns in the event of a severe
weather event.
Situation
Severe weather is one of the most prevalent emergencies that can affect any community in
Canada with limited warning. A severe weather event could be very local in nature, such as a
tornado, severe thunderstorms, heavy rain, large hail, blizzards, ice storms or snow storms.
Hydro, fresh water supplies, septic systems, building structures and roadways could all be
adversely affected by severe weather events, which could impact upon the way response
operations would be undertaken.
Concept of Operations
Damage is often widespread but may be very site specific. Secondary emergencies such as
mass casualties, flash flooding and structural fires may be a result of a severe weather
emergency. Warning times may vary widely but one of the best defenses available to mitigate
losses (in addition to good planning and public education) is the use of a weather watch and
public notification system.
Possible Major Effects to be considered
-
Injuries and death
-
Utility failure - power (Heat/AC), water, sewer and telephone outages
-
Road closures and stranded travelers
-
Severe structural damage, destruction of buildings or property
-
Flooding/forest fires
-
Mobility of vehicles and pedestrians restricted by snow, debris or washouts
-
Isolation of communities, homes
-
Difficulties in attaining and delivering emergency services -fire, ambulance and
police
-
Food and water shortages
-
Evacuation of people and animal
-
Large scale search and rescue missions to locate stranded or trapped
persons/animals
76

Supported Information
Weather for the most part has been unpredictable over the past few years. With above normal
rain fall in summer of 2013, caused the Town Lagoon to go above desired levels. Winter
weather has been seeing longer below -30 degree temperatures for longer periods of time.
Potential for tornados would not be surprising to this northern community. As well as electrical
storms for long periods of time, potential causing forest fires nearby and hydro issues.

Section 7
Host Facility/Open & Operate a Reception
Centre
84
OPEN & OPERATE A RECEPTION CENTRE/HOST FACILITY
Purpose
The purpose is to assist and ensure a timely and coordinated evacuation from one or more
communities to the Town The Pas. It is a Municipally coordination plan outlining how The Pas
would coordinate its response and collaborate with Provincial (MEMO) and Municipal
governments, First Nations, non-governmental organizations, and ministry partners.
Situation
An evacuation is defined as the process of removing people from an area where a present or
imminent situation has or may result in a loss of life and/or a risk to the safety, health and
welfare of people. Damage to property or the environment may also trigger an evacuation if it
poses a risk to the safety, health, and welfare of people.
Concept of Operations
In most cases, large scale long term operation of a Reception Centre will be done with the help
and direction from MEMO. Short term Reception Centers or Host Facility can be opened and
operated for both outside communities requesting assistance or for times when a short term
evacuation of part of our municipality is required.
Possible Major Effects to be considered
-
Accommodations, Logistics, food water shortages
-
Health Care

Water and Wastewater Treatment:
The most important service we provide in the community - Essential Service
If our community reaches Level 3 and beyond:
-
deploy support staff to supplement our operators at the plant:
-
Maintenance/Arena staff will be the first to be reassigned
-
provide two teams of three personnel:
-
the premise of the plan is to ensure that if one operator gets sick, it won't necessarily
result in both being sick
-
begin the cross training immediately:
- we have enough staff to shift resources over to this department as required
Public Works:
The Engineering Department has ranked the services provided by our Department above
(Public Works Pandemic Service Matrix), leaving Water/Wastewater Treatment aside.
Below is the ranking of the services provided by PW (1 being the most important).
1. Collection/Distribution:
Water and Sewer Mains - Service lines - Hydrants and Valves
2. Streets/Sidewalks:
Clearing - Sanding - Gravel - Potholes
95
3. Fleet Maintenance (including Airport)
Heavy Equipment - Passenger Vehicles - Mechanical Equipment
4. Sanitation
Collection of garbage - Scale and Compaction
5. Animal Control/Signs
6. Surveying/drafting
7. Administration
Public works will continue to provide all the services we can during this pandemic.
Once we reach Level 3, we will begin to take measures to break our crew into two groups. We
will utilize our backup supervisor to run the second crew. One crew will report to work, while the
second crew self isolates at home for that week. Crews will work in one week rotations, in order
to ensure that if we run into one crew having a sick or infected member, that crew can all self-
isolate until a determination is made regarding the health of that crew member. Currently sick
employees are being sent home and asked to perform a self-assessment and are not to return
to work until all symptoms have passed and will be evaluated by management upon their return.
However, we must expect that staffing issues will become an issue once we reach level 3 and 4.
Therefore, we must be prepared for the potential of reduction in services provided.
The Engineering Department has provided what the top 5 services and how our staffing will be
distributed through this process and if the situation gets worse:
1. Water and sewer treatment
a. Supplement with Arena/Maintenance staff first
b. Pull from Public Works next
c. Municipal Superintendent and Assistant Municipal Superintendent
2. Sewer and Water main and respective service line
a. Two crews of Two from Public Works
b. We have additionally trained staff to help/supplement + an
experienced supervisor
c.
Contractors and local support
d. Municipal Superintendent and Assistant Municipal Superintendent
3. Roads safe to operate for emergency vehicles
a. Lots of operators and staff who can operate equipment
b. Pull from maintenance crew
c.
Local contractors
4. Fleet Maintenance
a. 2 mechanics + 1 mechanic currently staffed as an Operator 3
b. Local Contractors
96
5. Garbage collection
a. 10 crew members with licenses
b. Lots of labourers to pull from crew
c. Pull from Rec staff (Pool and Wellness)
d. Outside contractors
e. If forced to stop this service, we will open the landfill and allow
Town residents and businesses to dump at no cost
We will maintain these 5 most critical services for as long as we can. We will shuffle staff and
work with local contractors as best we can. We can't assume that we can rely on any other
outside help, as this pandemic may be affecting all areas of our community, region and Country.
There may be a time where Mayor and Council will have to make the decision to further reduce
services. The service reduction may not solely be related to staffing shortages, but may also be
related to staff safety.
Staffing Safety:
Protecting our staff and ensuring their safety will be our biggest tool in ensuring the least
amount of service disruption. Below are best practices protocol for proper hygiene and a list of
employees who are the most at risk from public exposure and mitigation measures they can
take to protect themselves.
Hand washing
Whenever employees are entering any Town facility they should wash their hands
thoroughly (20-30 seconds)
Machine and Equipment cleaning
Before and after operating any machine or piece of equipment they should wipe down
thoroughly
Coughing
Turn head away, cough into the crook of your arm or tissue (tissue must be disposed of
immediately after), keep a distance of two or more meters from others.
Social Distancing
Avoid large gatherings, maintain a two-meter buffer from others.

9. Incident Management Overview
The airport uses the Incident Command System for responding to and managing levels of incidents int
coordination with internal and external stakeholders. The Incident Command System provides a standardized
organizational structure, common terminology (identified in Section 3. of this document), and common
strategies within the command systems for all responding agencies.
The lines of authority and responsibility supporting each specific agency beyond the airport are established by
those individual agencies. The roles of responding agencies in respect to The Pas Airport Emergency Plan are
detailed below. The Master Phone List is in Appendix D that identifies contact information for emergency
services both on and off the aerodrome. ((CAR 302.203 (1)(b), (c), and (d) and TP312 9.1.1.5 (b), (e), and (f))
9.1 Incident Response Roles and Responsibilities
The following outlines the roles and responsibilities of The Pas Airport, responding agencies, and stakeholders.
(CAR 302.203 (1)(e) and TP312 9.1.1.5 (c))
20
YQD Airport Emergency Plan - V3.0 - November 30, 2023
9.1.1 The Pas Airport Response Role
The Pas Airport will play a key role in all emergency incidents that impact the airport. (CAR 302.202 (2))
The Airport Manager or designate will take command of the Emergency Communication Centre (ECC) and
provide resources in support of the rescue operations, participate in the assessment of the event, and the
development of any action plan. In addition, the Airport Manager will attempt to minimize any operational
impact and maintain the operational integrity of the airport. The Airport Manager or designate will issue a
NOTAM indicating any changes or restrictions in facilities or services at The Pas Airport. (CAR 302.203 (1)(w)(ii)
Crash charts for aircraft operating in a passenger or cargo configuration will be maintained at the airport office
and will be made available to the Emergency Coordination Centre (ECC), the On-Scene Controller, and the
organizations responsible for fire-fighting services that are identified in the emergency plan. (CAR 302.206 (1),
(1)(a) and (1)(b)) In the absence of crash charts for aircraft of not more than nine (9) passenger seats, the airport
shall maintain documents containing equivalent information. (CAR 302.206 (2))
The senior Maintainer on duty or designate will assume the role of On-Scene Controller at the emergency site
and shall have no other duties during the emergency unless the life of a person is in danger nearby and the on-
scene controller is alone and has the ability to assist the person. (CAR 302.204) The On-Scene Controller will
establish a command post where the Incident Commanders from responding organizations will report. (CAR
302.203 (1)(f))
The remainder of The Pas Airport staff will assume a support role in the emergency and will assist the APM or
designate and On-Scene Controller as required. Duties will only be assigned to airport staff who are
knowledgeable of the contents of the Airport Emergency Plan and have the skills to carry out their duties. (CAR
302.207 (1)(a), (1)(b), and 302.203 (1)(f))
9.1.2 Emergency Coordination Centre (ECC)
The Emergency Coordination Centre will be activated remotely, due to the Airport Manager being located in
Winnipeg. The ECC will be activated via cell phone, and stakeholders and staff will dial in while the Airport
Manager travels to The Pas.
The ECC is the Unified Incident Management for civil aviation incidents involving airport tenants and incidents
involving airport property or assets. Senior level representatives from all involved agencies and the local town
office may attend to determine overall strategy, long term planning, and objectives to resolve the incident. (CAR
302.203 (1)(r))
The ECC has two levels of operation:
-
Standby Incident Response
-
Full Activation
It should be noted that the ECC will be remotely run by the Airport Manager or designate via conference all until
their arrival on-site.
9.1.2.1 Standby Incident Response
The AEP may be partially activated on the determination of the Airport Manager or designate with limited
staffing levels to provide enhanced monitoring of an activity or event that may impact the airport.
9.1.2.2 Full Activation
Upon the determination of the On-Scene Controller or designate, full activation of the ECC may be implemented
to provide a centralized location for senior level representatives from all involved agencies and the local town
office may attend to determine overall strategy, long term planning, and objectives required to mitigate or
resolve the incident.
21
YQD Airport Emergency Plan - V3.0 - November 30, 2023
The ECC will normally be activated for events which have a substantial impact on the continuity of airport
operations. If considered appropriate, however, the AEP may be activated during an IRROPS situation by the
Airport Manager or designate. In the event of full activation, the ECC will be remotely operated by the Airport
Manager while they are enroute via conference call.
9.1.2.3 ECC Activation Criteria
The ECC can be partially activated if one or more of the following criteria are met:
1. A potential emergency or threat that requires advanced planning (e.g., terrorist threat, severe weather
alert, or natural disaster).
2. A large-scale event at the airport requires monitoring (e.g., royal visit).
3. An incident outside airport boundaries that may affect or impact the operations of the airport (e.g., forest
fire with smoke outside airport boundaries).
4. A world event that requires assistance from the airport (e.g., assistance in parking aircraft for an
unspecified period of time).
9.1.2.4 ECC Responsibilities
The ECC has several key areas of responsibility that include:
1. Obtaining resources for the emergency site.
2. Management of strategic issues.
3. Conducting high-level discussions of strategic issues with external centers to exchange information,
including Federal, Provincial, and Local government as required by the incident.
4. Ensuring the continuity of the airport operations and services.
5. Keeping the response team apprised of situations and decision making where necessary.
9.1.3 Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)
The local RCMP will be responsible for controlling vehicular flow to a fire, crash site, or any other emergency

22
YQD Airport Emergency Plan - V3.0 - November 30, 2023
9.1.5 Emergency Medical Services
Emergency Medical Services will respond to any major medical emergency and provide transport to the hospital
when required. Depending on the severity of the situation, staff from the hospital may be requested to report
to the site. The agencies responding to the emergency will support emergency medical services as required.
9.1.6 Airlines and Ground Handlers
Air Carriers and Ground handlers are responsible for providing information to the ECC including but not limited
to passenger and cargo manifests including any hazardous materials and staff to assist in the emergency
response if possible. (CAR 302.202 (1)(d)) The airline's Airport Emergency Plan should reflect participation in the
airport's management of incidents including Disabled Aircraft Removal. The airline will remove the disabled
aircraft and/or wreckage as soon as possible upon the authorization of the Transportation Safety Board of
Canada. A senior representative from the airline will attend the site to coordinate activities related to the
airline's area of responsibility as per their standard operating procedures. The airline will also provide, with the
assistance of The Pas Airport a Reunification Centre at an appropriate location.
9.1.7 Mutual Aid Resources
The Pas Airport conducts an annual assessment to identify additional resources and takes the necessary steps to
address any gaps identified. A list of internal and external resources and their corresponding contact
information is in Appendix D of this manual. (CAR 302.203 (1)(c)) The airport collaborates with the Town of
Masset, the local fire department, RCMP, and Emergency Medical Service to review agreements as necessary
and update contact information.
The term Mutual Aid includes cooperative assistance agreements, memoranda of understanding (MOU's),
service level agreements, intergovernmental contracts, or other terms commonly used for the sharing of
resources. The Pas Airport determines the need for assistance following the annual resource assessment and
establishes whenever possible and/or maintains necessary agreements. Copies of all signed agreements are in
Appendix E of this manual. (CAR 302.203 (2)(a) and TP312 9.1.1.5 (g))
9.1.8 On-Scene Controller
The On-Scene Controller (OSC) is the senior Maintainer on duty or designate that shall be at the emergency site
and shall not have any other duties during the emergency unless the life of a person Is in danger nearby and the
On-Scene Controller is alone and has the ability to assist the person. (CAR 302.203 (1)(g))
The OSC MUST remain at the Command Post within visual range of the incident area. (CAR 302.203 (1)(i)) The OSC
will be visible by way of a red reflective vest and is reachable via radio on the airport frequency 122.7. (CAR
302.203 (1)(j)) In the event that on-scene control has been temporarily assumed by a person from a responding
organization, command will be transferred to the senior Maintainer or designate upon their arrival after
receiving a full briefing. (CAR 302.203 (1)(k))
If a large-scale incident is taking place and multiple agencies have responded to the scene, the Unified
Command Structure will be implemented and one supervisor or representative from each agency will function
as the Incident Commander for their respective organization. These representatives will communicate directly
with the On-Scene Controller. (CAR 302.203 (1)(o))
The OSC will provide regular emergency status reports to the ECC as the emergency unfolds. The primary
means of communication and coordination between responding agencies should be face to face at the Unified
Command Post. (CAR 302.203 (1)(o)) This requires each department or agency to ensure that an Incident
Commander is present at this location. (CAR 302.203 (1)(i) and (j))
23
YQD Airport Emergency Plan - V3.0 - November 30, 2023
Only a person who meets the following requirements may act as an On-Scene Controller: (CAR 302.203 (1)(l) and

-
Knowledgeable about the procedures for the overall coordination of emergency operations at an
emergency site.
-
Trained and have the skills for the On-Scene Controller role they perform.
If the Airport Manager or designate is unavailable, the On-Scene Controller will have the authority to issue a
NOTAM as needed to manage the response, investigation, disabled aircraft removal, or other emergency
requirements. The On-Scene Controller will have the authority to NOTAM the changes, restrictions, or
availability of services or facilities at the airport.
9.1.9 Incident Commander
The Incident Commander is an individual from a responding agency, identified to have primary command of
their organization during an emergency event. This individual should have expertise in emergency events and
have a proven ability to work with others in stressful circumstances. This individual should be familiar with
their own agency plans, responsibilities, and The Pas Airport Emergency Plan. During an emergency, this
individual should be tasked with no other duties, if possible, other than command and control of their
respective agency during the emergency event. The Incident Commanders MUST always have access to radio
communication.
9.1.10 Passenger Evacuation Area
The OSC will coordinate with the ECC and any available resources including airport staff to transport any
evacuated individuals when their safety is compromised, or airside operations have been impacted. If
passenger evacuation becomes necessary for any reason, the following facility will be utilized: (CAR 302.203 (1)(t))
-
Air Terminal Building located at 1 Airport Road, Airport Terminal Building (ATB), The Pas, MB
-
In the event the ATB is compromised, passengers will be evacuated to the parking lot.
10. Transfer of Command
The initial emergency responders are authorized to assume the role of Incident Commander until supervisory
staff from their agency arrives on-site. Command will be formally transferred when the individual has received
a full briefing.
For all off-site emergency responses, if the role of On-Scene Controller has been assumed by a person from a
responding agency, command will be transferred to the senior Airport Maintainer or designate upon arrival
after receiving a full briefing. (CAR 302.203 (1)(h) and (k))
11. Communications Procedures
11.1 Radio Frequencies
The airport staff will utilize vehicle and handheld radios to communicate with the On-Scene Controller. The

The coroner may take charge of the wreckage and designate one or more RCMP officers to prevent
persons from disturbing it until the coroner has made their examination.
-
The coroner may view or take possession of any deceased body.
-
The coroner may inspect and extract information from any records or writings relating to the deceased
and their circumstances.
-
The coroner may seize anything that they have reasonable grounds to believe is material to the
purposes of the investigation.
14. Service Resumption Procedures
Service resumption can include the partial or complete re-opening of the airport such as the Air Terminal
Building or the partial or complete re-opening of an airside surface such as a runway or taxiway. Complete
service resumption can only occur upon the conclusion of appropriate emergency or operational procedures.
Resumption of service can be considered once mitigation measures to an emergency or incident have been
successful. Consideration is to be given to emergency status reports from the On-Scene Controller or designate
and other members of Unified Command, if applicable, this includes coordination with the coroner and any
representatives of the Transportation Safety Board of Canada. (CAR 302.203 (1)(u)(i) and (ii))
All procedures for removing a disabled aircraft are in the Disabled Aircraft Removal Plan located in Appendix B.

The Pas Airport - Combined Services Building (CSB) 1 Airport Road, The Pas, MB
16.5 Baggage and Cargo Isolation
All checked baggage, mail, and cargo will be brought to a holding area designated by the RCMP where the
passengers will come to identify and take possession of their luggage including any personal carry-on items.
16.6 Handling and Disposal of a Suspected Bomb
If suspected checked baggage, mail, or cargo is to be isolated, the handling, moving procedures, and location
will be at the discretion of the RCMP.
17. Bomb Threat
17.1 Bomb Threat - Aircraft
Pursuant to Sections 15, 89, and 90 of the Canadian Aviation Security Regulations and Section 10 of the Air
Carrier Security Measures, when an air carrier receives a threat involving an aircraft or a flight, they must
immediately provide as much detailed information as possible. There is an increased likelihood of threat
credibility when the wording of the threat contains any of the following elements:
-
the flight number and the flight departure time,
-
the flight number and the specific location of the aircraft at the time the threat was received,
-
the aircraft registration number or the number inscribed on the tail end,
-
the name of a crew member assigned to the aircraft or to the flight targeted by the threat,
-
a valid luggage tag number, and
-
terminology specific to the industry or non-public information indicating knowledge specifically relating
to the target or the location of an explosive.
28
YQD Airport Emergency Plan - V3.0 - November 30, 2023
17.2 Bomb Threat - Facilities
While the evacuation of a facility is an effective solution, it is not always the best one. Experience has
demonstrated that every bomb threat is real and that there is a chance that it will be repeated if systematic
evacuation follows. The RCMP will assist The Pas Airport in making the final determination that would result in
evacuation.
To determine the level of risk and to assist in the decision-making process leading to evacuation, certain factors
must be taken into consideration:
-
Method used to transmit the threat (telephone call, letter, etc.),
-
Behaviour of the individual issuing the threat when it is received by telephone or in person,
-
Terminology unique to the industry, or non-public information indicating specific knowledge about the
target or the location of an explosive device, and
-
Specific details about the destructive device, its appearance, composition, or location.
17.3 Device Found
This applies to incidents where an explosive device is found. "Discovery" implies visual recognition of an
explosive device, or its detection confirmed by EVD or dog-team inspection. When in doubt, a suspicious device
should always be treated as a real one. The RCMP will assume a primary role and all necessary measures will be
taken to ensure the protection of persons and goods. As soon as a device is found, the premises will be
evacuated; a security perimeter will be created as per procedures. The RCMP will provide any subsequent
instructions.
18. AEP Testing and Training of Airport Staff
The airport will conduct a full-scale live exercise every four (4) years. (CAR 302.208 (2)(b)) Records from the
exercises will be maintained for ten (10) years after the day that the record was created. Table-top exercises
will be conducted each year in which no full-scale live exercise is being performed. (CAR 302.208 (4))
The full-scale exercises will be based on scenarios that relate to a major aircraft accident and will include the
deployment of the local fire department, RCMP, and emergency medical service. (CAR 302.208 (3))
The Minister may, on application, provide written authorization not to conduct the full-scale exercise during an
interval defined in CARs 302.208 (2)(a) or (b) if the airport demonstrates that the testing requirements for a full-
scale exercise have been met through an activation of the Airport Emergency Plan in response to an emergency
during that interval. (CAR 302.209)
The table-top exercises will be based on an aircraft accident or incident and have the following: (CAR 302.208 (6)
and CAR 302.208 (5)(a), (5)(b), and (5)(c))
-
Current list of participants
-
Contact numbers for participants
-
Radio frequencies used to communicate
-
Fully operational communication equipment
-
A copy of the Grid Map
Prior to conducting any table-top or full-scale exercise, The Pas Airport will provide the Minister with a notice in
writing of the date and time when the exercise to be carried out at least sixty (60) days before the date of the
exercise. (CAR 302.208 (7))
29

Appendix B - Disabled Aircraft Removal Plan
(CAR 302.203 (1)(u)(iii) and TP312 9.3.2.1))
Introduction
This plan is intended to provide guidance in the recovery and removal of disabled aircraft. Where a disabled
aircraft is on a part of an aerodrome that interferes with the movement of other aircraft, the disabled aircraft
shall be moved as quickly as is consistent with the safety of life and property.
Responsibilities
Airline / Aircraft Operator
-
Ensuring that they are equipped with the necessary insurance and technical advice, supervision, and
the provision of all necessary equipment and materials.
-
Salvaging and removing the disabled aircraft as quickly as possible once it has been released by
regulating authorities. Regular users of the airport must ensure they have adequate facilities to
conduct their own recovery operations or where they do not have these facilities, they must have
contractual agreements with another agency capable of undertaking the recovery on their behalf.
-
Informing the airport of their aircraft recovery contingency arrangements and keeping the airport
informed of any changes.
The Pas Airport
-
A claim for damages could follow an attempt to move a crashed or disabled aircraft if it was proven the
act of moving created additional damage airside. It is important therefore, to allow only the aircraft
owner, operator, or their appointed representative to control the aircraft removal operation.
-
If the aircraft operator refuses to remove a disabled aircraft or neglects to do so within a reasonable
time frame and obstructs The Pas Airport in carrying out their responsibilities as an aerodrome
operator, the airport will take independent action to remove the aircraft at full cost to the aircraft
operator.
-
NOTE: The Pas Airport retains the right to approve the removal plan in the absence of the aircraft
operator to ensure the operational safety and functional capabilities of the airport are not endangered.
Operations
Prior to conducting the removal of a disabled aircraft, considerations must be considered for the following:
-
Site Survey
-
Planning
-
Preparation
-
Recovery
-
Reporting Process
Site Survey
Site survey involves any preliminary tasks which can be completed prior to the removal of the aircraft which
include but are not limited to:
-
Initial aircraft survey (fluid leaks, debris, fuel on-board)
-
Initial site survey (terrain, soil characteristics, taxiway, runway, access routes)
-
Weather forecasts
-
Identification of any occupational health hazards (tire pressure)
-
PPE requirements
-
Identification of hazmat biohazards
-
Identification of fire safety precautions
34
YQD Airport Emergency Plan - V3.0 - November 30, 2023
Planning
The planning phase should entail the management of equipment and vehicles to ensure the removal of the
aircraft in a same and concise manner.
Preparation
This process ensures that the operation of the removal of the aircraft is ready to commence. This shall be done
through several actions which may be required:
-
Stabilizing the aircraft
-
Removal of loose or damaged components
-
Ground anchoring of the aircraft
-
Preparation of the surface to ensure it is able to accommodate the additional weight of the aircraft and
equipment.
-
Removing on-board fuel if necessary
-
Removal of cargo and baggage
Recovery
Once the aircraft has been lifted and removed off the runway/taxiway, it can then be towed to a more suitable
location to resume operations after the completion of an airfield FOD inspection.
Reporting Process
It should be noted that when conducting the reporting process, each stage shall be thoroughly documented for
any additional investigational follow up and must include the following elements:
-
Diagrams
-
Photographs
-
Maps
-
Risk Assessment

They have 5 big gardens, a summer

We set days aside (Tuesday night and

people would go and work in the gardens.
Part of that is because socializing is just as
important as anything else. People go
there and visit as they work.

This scan is a baseline in terms of
understanding our next steps and what
an Indigenous Strategy would need to be
in the North. A strategy will then be
collaboratively developed that will be the
responsibility of the entire organization
to help develop and implement. The CIO
has supported the Community Health
Assessment Working group from an
Indigenous lens and have had discussions
to further our understanding of the First
