Saskatchewan First Nation Emergency Management jobs and careers

About Saskatchewan First Nation Emergency Management

We provide a variety of services, programs and workshops aimed at improving the awareness and mitigation of emergency scenarios. These programs are available to all communities in Saskatchewan, and we are proud to say that we have been able to reach hundreds of families through these programs. Our office works with Federal, Provincial, ISC and independent agencies so that our training and programs comply with the highest standards. To pass on these practices, we document emergency plans for our communities and support First Nations bands in developing their own plans through a customizable emergency response plan that the community is able to build and maintain. Our team provides training in combatting fires in rural and forested areas to our First Nation communities and neighbouring organizations. Whether a fire emergency breaks out in a community, at home, or in the forest, we want to make sure that those communities can respond, put out the fire, mitigate the spread and ensure impacted individuals receive medical attention. We are also able to support in providing relocation support in the event that someone’s home is lost in a fire through our Red Cross training. Once a fire has been put out, we conduct an investigation into the cause of the outbreak. This is done to determine whether there was intentional malicious activity or if an incident occurred that could have been avoided with proper fire safety precautions. By performing these reviews, we’re able to continuously improve a community’s awareness of fire risks and reduce future threats. We are the official Prince Albert Grand Council Search, Rescue and Recovery SARSAV Team in Saskatchewan. This means that SFNEM is able to assist families in finding their lost loved ones throughout First Nation communities with the resources and capacity needed to ensure that a thorough and expedient search can be conducted.
