Review of the sec­ond phase of the post-dis­as­ter recov­ery sup­port process

Dozens of par­tic­i­pants from Qué­bec’s civ­il secu­ri­ty com­mu­ni­ty gath­ered on Novem­ber 21 and 22, 2019, in Rimous­ki and Que­bec City, and on Decem­ber 2, 2019, in Repentigny, to par­tic­i­pate in pro­to­typ­ing work­shops. These work­shops were part of the sec­ond phase of an action-research project ini­ti­at­ed by the Civ­il Secu­ri­ty Asso­ci­a­tion of Québec (ASCQ) in part­ner­ship with the Min­is­ter of Pub­lic Security​(MPS).

The objec­tive was to devel­op tools​“by or for” civ­il secu­ri­ty prac­ti­tion­ers to facil­i­tate the recov­ery phase fol­low­ing a dis­as­ter. Four pro­to­types were devel­oped in the three work­shops:

1. a train­ing mod­ule for elect­ed offi­cials, admin­is­tra­tive staff and key part­ners;

2. a mod­el recov­ery plan;

3. human resources man­age­ment for recov­ery;

4. plan to estab­lish a com­mu­ni­ty for the trans­fer of good prac­tices led by the ASCQ to facil­i­tate the cre­ation, pro­mo­tion and shar­ing of tools.
