 We know people are worried about the climate-related emergencies across British Columbia that are significantly affecting our families, communities, economy, infrastructure, and ecosystems. Modern realities like frequent floods, wildfires, and extreme heat, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic have a lasting impact on people and communities. Climate-related emergencies will continue to grow in frequency and complexity as climate change persists. The next phase in our response to these challenges begins with modernizing BC's emergency management legislation. British Columbia is on the frontlines of climate change in Canada, which is why in 2018 we were the first province to adopt the United Nations' Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. And now we are the first province to overhaul emergency management legislation in more than a decade. The new Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness will lead our provincial approach to disaster mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery, and will help keep people safe. While this legislation is foundational to the future of BC's emergency management, it is also historic in our province's path to reconciliation as the first major land-based legislation that formally recognizes the rights of First Nations as decision-makers in emergency management, which is an important step in aligning BC's approach with the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The legislation creates requirements for regulated entities to integrate indigenous knowledge in risk assessment and emergency management plans and promotes cultural safety. Emergency management is more successful with dialogue and collaboration. The legislation includes requirements and opportunities for government-to-government conversations and interactions with other key partners, like local governments and critical infrastructure operators. It also includes more ways for our public safety partners to support each other and keep people safer. There are more updates to come on this legislation as we continue to ensure that as communities, as people, and as a province, we can meet the challenges of climate and disaster risk.
