Decisions Before the Flames: How Communities Shape Wildfire Outcomes

CLIMAtlantic is hosting a new, bilingual online session in their Municipal Learning Series on June 9 at 2:00pm - 3:30 pm Newfoundland Time (1:30-3:00pm in parts of Labrador)

Join Kara McCurdy, wildfire mitigation specialist, fire service professional, and community resilience advocate, to explore how wildfire outcomes are shaped long before a fire starts, through municipal decisions around land use, development, access, water supply, public education, emergency planning, and community risk reduction. Designed for elected officials, municipal staff, fire service leaders, emergency managers, planners, and community decision-makers, the session connects real Atlantic wildfire examples with practical actions communities can take before the next event.

Learn how to:
• Translate wildfire risk into municipal priorities, budget choices, prevention actions, and readiness planning.
• Understand where your community may be vulnerable, what questions to ask, and how leadership decisions can reduce future wildfire impacts.

Participants can expect an engaging, plain-language session with discussion prompts and decision-making exercises. Live interpretation to French will be available throughout the call.

Please note that the session will be recorded.

MUNICIPAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY 🚩

As Municipal Awareness Week comes to a close, we want to show our appreciation to our network of municipal sector supporters. The work that PMA does to strengthen the provinces network of municipal administrators would not be possible without the contributions of the organizations and businesses that we have partnered with over the years, who continue to show up in support of municipalities across the province.

As many of you know, networking is and integral part of municipal sector work. Individuals rely on one another through the passage of knowledge and skills to steer their towns towards success; both fellow administrators and folks connected to the sector all play a role in increasing the expertise and confidence of municipal staff and leaders.

Sending a huge thank you to those we've worked closely with to bolster municipalities in Newfoundland & Labrador! We are grateful for these important connections.

As Municipal Awareness Week winds down, we want to take some time to acknowledge the hard-work and dedication of municipal administrators across the province.

PMA members work tirelessly behind the scenes to deliver the essential services that keep our communities running smoothly, and their efforts do not go unnoticed. From managing daily operations, to ensuring their residents have access to clean drinking water--the work of municipal administrators create the foundation of strong communities.

Thank you to the Town Clerks, Managers, CAO's and all municipal staff for their commitment to helping build and maintain resilient communities. We appreciate all that you do.
