The purpose of the review is to assess the emergency management activities undertaken for the mitigation of, preparedness for, response to and recovery from the 2011-12 floods in Manitoba in order to develop lessons learned and facilitate improvements to future programming related to emergency management. [...] The Regional Director General is responsible for representing AANDC on the Manitoba Federal Council’s Emergency Management Working group and coordinating activities with other federal departments.4 The Province of Manitoba may provide assistance to First Nations to the degree that is possible following a request for assistance from AANDC and, in the case of the 2011-12 flood, the province was resp [...] However, in the case of flooding, risks can be further explained by applying a Source-Pathway- Receptor- Consequence model6 that accounts for: The nature and probability of the hazard (i.e., the source); The degree of exposure to the hazard (i.e., the pathway); The susceptibility of the people living in the floodplain (i.e., the receptor); and The value of receptor or the element at risk ( [...] The consequence (represented by the red polygon) is smaller in the image on the left compared to the image on the right because of the way in which the source, pathway and receptor intersect. [...] In an attempt to avoid this pitfall, the remainder of this section explores the relevance of EMAP in the Manitoba flooding context based on the four components of the Source-Pathway- Receptor-Consequence model, which come together to determine the consequence of a given event.
