Mr. Chair, our department provides support to the communities to develop their plans. We provide the people to come into the community to develop a plan or use a template to set up an emergency measures plan including all the contact people that have certain responsibilities in case of a disaster. In the event of a disaster, we would provide the information on how our disaster assistance plans work, who to contact, how to contact people, and which agencies cover what type of emergency. If it is search and rescue, it is a different agency. If it is disaster assistance, it is a different agency again.
We provide that. We also provide some of the basic essentials to run an operation centre; maybe some of the communication equipment and things of that nature. We do not provide an inventory of blankets and medication as the Member indicated. Neither do we provide heated storage space. We do have a partner in this whole emergency area, the joint emergency program that is delivered through the federal government. There is the ability to access funds through that program. As I have indicated, that is how we were able to partner up with the Town of Hay River to get their highway emergency vehicles. So there are possibilities, but that is about the extent of where we provide supplies.
