2013 Luncheon Topics
DRIE 2013 Central Fall Luncheon: Crisis Communications
September 26, 2013
Location: Norwood Hotel, 112 Marion Street, Winnipeg MB
Workshop Description:
Crisis strikes without warning; is subject to change without notice, and cannot be contained in isolation. In the midst of a crisis, ordinary day-to-day decisions present extraordinary risks. Modern communications take place in a global village, in a glass house where no event occurs in isolation, where what one person does and says today may affect the rest of the organization tomorrow, shareholders and customers in the days and weeks following. In a crisis, leaders must take action and make decisions without knowing all the facts, all the potential ramifications, or what actions and reactions are occurring elsewhere that will impact on what they do. Yet failure to act or hesitation carries equal or greater risk.
Workshop participants learned:
• How to identify potential crises you and your organization might have to face
• What qualifies a situation as a crisis and what crisis situations have in common
• Steps to developing a crisis plan, and what elements it should include
• How to use a crisis plan effectively
• How to identify people with the knowledge and confidence to act
• What training and processes prepare people and organizations to respond to crisis in an appropriate timely manner
Presenter: Linda Lee, L Squared Communications
DRIE Central Professional Development Meeting/Luncheon
May 22, 2013
Location: Norwood Hotel (Tache Room)112 Marion Street
Presentation Description
On October 2, 2012 grassland fires whipped through the Rural Municipality of Stuartburn, resulting in evacuations of residents and destroying 4 homes in the town of Vita. Later that same week, thousands of residents in the same area were without power due to an ice storm. Thick ice and fallen trees blown over by wind and heavy weight of snow brought down power lines.
This presentation will offer an overview of how these two separate and yet connected disaster events were managed from three different perspectives: that of the Emergency Measures Coordinator in the region, Emergency Social Services and Manitoba Hydro. Participants will gain insight into the realities of executing community level and corporate emergency/service continuity plans, where things went well and where improvements can be made.
Presenters
- Nicki Albus, Regional Emergency Manager – Eastern Region, Emergency Measures Organization
- Jodi Pluchinski, Director Emergency Social Services, MB Family Services and Labour
- Richard Hollands, Corporate Emergency Response Coordinator, Manitoba Hydro

- On Wednesday, April 25, 2012, Danny Blair presented: Preparing for Extremes: Climate Change in the Prairies. Climate change in the prairies is largely associated with rising average temperatures. However, another important expectation is that our climate will become even more variable than it already is. This has significant implications regarding the frequency and intensity of heat waves, droughts, flooding, and other types of extreme weather and, of course, this in turns has implications for those involved in disaster preparedness.

- June 23, 2011 – Michael Dudley, Research Associate, Institute of Urban Studies at the University of Winnipeg presented on from Crisis to Resilience. How many recent natural disasters that have befallen metropolitan areas in the past several years (forest fires, floods and earthquakes) aren’t so much “natural” but are instead the result of (or exacerbated by) poor planning decisions in the past, such as building on flood plains and other vulnerable locations, but that our “psychology of previous investment” prevents us from altering our building patterns? As well, our rigid, centralized “big pipes” approach to city building, infrastructure and commodities makes our cities vulnerable to shocks and system breakdowns, such as those associated with energy prices and availability. The presentation will argue for the incorporation of resilience principles in urban planning, which in many ways will mean a return to historical practices and forms.
- February 25, 2011 – Paul Kentziger, Mary Genyk and Gord Novoselnik provided a panel discussion on the topic of developing and executing BCP/DR exercises. This is an excellent opportunity to consult with the experts on ways to initiate or improve your organization’s BCP/DR exercises.
