Economic Resilience & Recovery

A disaster is a serious disruption of the functioning of society, causing widespread human, material or environmental losses that exceeds the local capacity to respond, and calls for external assistance.

Our three part TOOLKIT connects disaster management functions with economic principles to identify key issues and suggested action planning. Wherever possible, resources and contacts specific to Saskatchewan has been included. This information will be updated as changes in our provincial emergency management and economic environment occur. Realistic and coordinated planning will reduce duplication of efforts and maximize response and recovery efforts should an incident occur.
