The Alberta government is hoping new regulatory changes will help municipalities better respond to fires, flooding or other natural disasters in their communities.
The proposed changes were tabled in the legislature today. The province plans to consult municipalities, First Nation and Métis communities and citizens on the changes before going forward with them.
While more details are expected following the consultation, it’s proposed that the province develop a plan with municipalities that makes it clear who will be responsible for what, as well as provide local officials with new training programs that they are encouraged to practise.
