@ ~ CANADA PREPARES 10 DEAL WITH DISASTER Sm : HOW. ARE WE SETTING UP ' DISASTER SERVICES? Aim of Canada's eivil defence ser- "vices for dealing with disaster fis, 1 broadly, to minimize the toll of .catas- trophe, in terms of human suffering, to keep loss to a minimum, to main-- tain production and bolster the "will to fight", where there is a hostile ~ force to combat, and to maintain the "will to conmie back" from natural ca- lamity. Government manuals issued for public information detail the essential measures to be undertaken as design- "ed to reduce loss of life and injury, + to afford medical and other assistance to the civil population, to ensure that essential production will continue, to restore public utilities and services as quickly as possible and to mitigate property damage which may have been caused." Since civil defence, in its very es- sence, is the assurance of the con- * tinuity of community - services, the main operational responsibility, apart from overall planning, training and co-ordination, falls on those local mu- nicipal agencies which are called up- on from day to day to maintain the normal amenities of life in Canada's urban communitids and other organ- ized areas. Thus, Civil defence authorities point out, self-help and mutual aid--key to the defeat, of disaster--are respon- sibilities of each and every citizen. . The local governments--the munici- palitiecs--are responsible for the pro- vision of an'organization so that the people can produce co-ordinated self- help. z 2 Provincial governments are charged with providing mutual aid between communities and the federal govern- ment's role is that of ensuring that appropriate defence measures are ta- ken, that.there are services to put them into effect and that such activi- ties are co-ordinated for maximum ef- fectiveness. DEFENCE AREAS 'For civil defence purposes, Canada is divided into target, mutual aid and mobile support and reception areas. Their names are * They embrace every section of the country--cities most likely to be at- tacked or where disaster would wreck the heaviest toll, communities not so likely' to be struck, where supporting . aid could be mobilized quickly to help those which suffer, and the rest of the country where, in addition to em- ergency rélief, facilities_could be en- self-explanatory. 1] ORGANIZING APACE The féderal government has gone far to se¢ that adequate services are established, trained and equipped. It has provided siren warning systems o possible target areas, contributed to the cdst of provincial civil défence projects, under-written part of the 'cost of standardizing such essential tools as fire-fightin nent, trained' thousands of people who, In turn, will instruct others in approved civil defence methods, provided special radiological and other instruments, and has carried on a continuing infor- mation program to tell Canadians what they should do if disaster strikes. The government has also done much to alert and prepare medical people, social workers and others needed to care for casualties, and has stockpiled medical supplies and other essential equipment at strategic points across the country. The provinces have all set up civil defence . organizations and many of the major-cities have established and are training strong forces for emer- gency duty. Canada is indeed preparing for "eon- certed action to tackle whatever em- ergency may rise. Not the least im- portant of her efforts has been di- rected towards enlisting the active ifiterest and ¢co- -operation in these mea- sures of the individual citizen. Self- help being the essence of civil defence, the country is anxious that everyone should know what to do in disaster and that every "community should be so organized, trained and equipped that loss, both human and material, would be kept to a minimum.
