Letter from the Advisory CommitteeAs the Advisory Committee for Canada’s Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction, we are pleased to presentyou with the final report for the Fourth National Roundtable on Disaster Risk Reduction, which tookplace in Regina, Saskatchewan on November 5, 2013. The Roundtable facilitates coordination andimplementation of Canada's Platform activities and is the means through which the Platformmembership communicates its views, perspectives, concerns and priorities on Disaster Risk Reduction(DRR).Some 140 participants from all sectors, including a strong aboriginal presence, took part in theRoundtable’s diverse program. The contribution of participants to the day’s proceedings is a testamentto the vibrancy of the Platform membership and demonstrates the value of the Roundtable as amechanism for consultation, information sharing and collaboration to advance DRR in Canada.A highlight of the day was the talk-show format discussion on resilience that was moderated by CBCjournalist Stefani Langenegger.-Through the talk-show, senior level representatives from differentsectors helped to frame the day’s dialogue on resilience and how to find innovative ways of addressingexisting and new risks that may impact Canadians. As well, a consultation session on the principles ofresilience provided for group discussion on personal examples of emergency situations and enabled thecompilation of a repertoire of cases studies from the point of view of the membership.A key objective this year was to increase the relevance of the Roundtable as a tool for the Platformmembership and stakeholders to consult or share information on specific issues and initiatives ofimportance to them. The afternoon of parallel sessions were made available for interested parties tobring forward issues and to seek the views of Roundtable participants. In total, eight parallel sessionswere held on a wide variety of subjects, including climate change adaptation; knowledge management;land use; risk assessment; financial implications of disasters; aboriginal resilience; and developing a newUnited Nations framework for DRR.We would like to thank all the speakers, panelists, session chairs, participants, members, and volunteers.The Roundtable would not be possible without their contributions to the planning and their activeinvolvement during the day.We look forward to seeing you at the Fifth Annual Roundtable to be held in Toronto, Ontario, onOctober 21, 2014.Sincerely,Canada’s Platform Advisory CommitteeStephanie Durand (co-chair)Ernest MacGillivray (co-chair)Mark BakerFrancis BradleyLouise GeoffrionRon KubanDavid McCormackLaurie PearceRodney YipIan Burtonii
Canada's PlatformIn January 2005, 168 Governments, including Canada, adopted the Hyogo Framework for Action(HFA), under the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR). The HFAis a non-binding international guidance tool which seeks to reduce the human, social, economicand environmental costs of disasters.In June 2009, as part of its commitment to deliver on the HFA, Canada announced theestablishment of a National Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction to build multi-stakeholdercoordinated leadership in DRR. Canada's Platform has been organized to comprise fourinterconnected components: an Advisory Committee; general membership; working groups; anda secretariat, which is housed at Public Safety Canada.Platform VisionA safer and more resilient Canada through the reduction of risks and leveraging of capacities andopportunities across all levels of government, the private sector, academia, Non-GovernmentalOrganizations (NGO), professional associations, Aboriginal groups, and the general public.Platform AimTo provide a gathering place for ideas where members can connect in a way that facilitatesdialogue and enables objective consideration of the current state of DRR activities, as well as newperspectives on trusted roles and partnerships, while spurring exploration of new ideas andcollaborative opportunities.Platform Objectives Work in an integrated manner to reduce risk, vulnerability and impacts of natural andnon-natural disasters to Canadians.Provide a coordinating mechanism for DRR across sectors and using our existing networks.Support stakeholders with relevant knowledge and information.iii

Introductions were facilitated among the wide variety of experts in attendance,empowering stakeholders to develop relationships, to consider new perspectives and tostrategize on shared DRR concerns. Sessions on information and tools provided attendees withknowledge on the state of DRR data and resources enabling immediate feedback to presenters onthe use, expansion and way forward for such tools.A key focus of the 2013 Roundtable was to explore the fundamental building blocks of resilience.The basic principles and concepts that contribute to building, nurturing and maintainingcommunity resilience and advancing DRR were examined, debated and captured to inform futurepolicy direction among all levels of government.
