Summary of findings to Community Affairs
September 2011
A year ago, Bamfield was invited to participate in a pilot project to explore the state of community disaster resilience. Linda Myres and Siobhan Grey were chosen as community research facilitators for the project: ENHANCING COMMUNITY DISASTER RESILIENCE.
Two communities in British Columbia (Bamfield and Horsefly) participated in the project as part of a larger national project: Building Resilience and Rural Health System Capability for Pre-Disaster Planning and Preparedness. This project is funded by the Department of National Defence and is a partnership of the Justice Institute of British Columbia with Royal Roads University, Public Safety Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada, and the Rural Secretariat of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
Over the past year, the communities of Bamfield and Anacla completed several surveys and participated in group discussions. In total 58 responses were received. All responses are held in confidence and all responses were received anonymously.
