Wildfires, Floods, and Chaos Communications: Management of Issues, Crises and Disasters

Welcome to the Wildfires, Floods, and Chaos Communications Podcast. Join our team of information officers as we recount the intense 2023 British Columbia wildfire season, marked by 10,000 evacuees, theft and sabotage of firefighting equipment, protests, and nearly 300 destroyed or damaged structures. We navigate the challenges of crisis communications amid these wildfires and floods, compounded by a ban on news and the declining impact of Canadian news media.

We explore effective strategies for managing misinformation, coordinating resources, and maintaining public trust during wildfires and floods. Hear personal stories from the front lines, lessons from past emergencies, and insights on preparation and training. Our podcast offers valuable knowledge for professionals and anyone interested in crisis communications.
