Similar to Burnaby, we have formal emergency management plans in place. It's under the authority of our fire chief, who reports to council. Prepare Victoria is an agency of the fire department that has three employees and about 100 volunteers. They primarily respond to fires and residents who are displaced by fire. They put a lot of attention into seismic risk, which is a major risk on the west coast of Canada, as it is in the Ottawa Valley. There has been an exercise in the last year with Western Canada Marine Response Corporation, the Coast Guard, and Transport Canada, which is the operator of the port of Victoria.
