Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think we are really fortunate in the Northwest Territories. If we look at a map of North America and areas that are affected by natural disasters, there is almost nothing once you get north of 60 in terms of volcanoes, hurricanes, tornados, and things of a volatile nature. We have had things like the flood in Hay River, this past year a flood in Fort Good Hope, but they haven't been that sort of catastrophic magnitude. They have been fairly localized. We had an earthquake that started in Fort Simpson one time and it shook us up in Hay River.
Anyway, but I think it is important on the communication side. I have no doubt there is a plan in place, but sometimes people see things or become aware of things. It is just good for people to know who is to respond and what number you should call in an emergency. I think about a day last summer when I was out and I saw that black cloud coming over Yellowknife. It was the Yellowknife dump that was on fire. I remember thinking, I sure hope somebody is on top of this. I sure hope somebody is in charge of this because it seemed to me that it could have quite a devastating effect on the community. It was just coming up over the dump and setting right down on residential areas. Anybody with a breathing problem, it could have been fairly serious. You
feel like you should do something. What do you do? I don't know. I suppose by the time I saw it, people were responding to it. But I think communication is the best thing so that there is a number that people know that, when something happens or something is just in the beginning stages, people know where to call in. In that instance, I suppose the Yellowknife fire department might have been the number to check with. Myself, I called the Premier on my cell phone, but he didn't answer.
To the issue of communication then, the numbers are just the ones you listed, the four ones or the four twos and that is it? Thank you.
