Conversations about Emergency Response

Dear Islanders, first, I want to applaud and give huge thanks to all those in the TIFD, and all the islanders that leapt to help, responding in ways great and small, sharing skills and ingenuity galore!

I had very mixed feelings about having been gone for two weeks. I missed the whole thing! And while I missed a traumatic experience, I also missed doing my part, and being apart of Thetis Island Community Magic.... I would like to be a part of debriefing this event in preparation for the future.

I'm sure that most of you have thought deeply about the ways that the island response was amazing and the ways that we are needing to rethink how we might be better prepared for what is surely a changing future. 

I am inviting those interested to share your ideas on what has been successful, and how we can improve helping ourselves and sharing in the responsibility for our future emergency preparedness.

Thursday, January 10, for 7:00 at my house, 272 Forbes Road

Take care,

Mary Forbes
