Summary
Indigenous Services Canada's Emergency Management Assistance Program (EMAP) helps communities on reserve access emergency assistance services while being culturally sensitive, responsive to the unique strengths and customs of First Nations communities. The program also provides funding to provinces, territories and non-government organizations to support on-reserve emergency management. EMAP provides funding to First Nations communities so they can build resiliency, prepare for natural hazards and respond to them using the 4 pillars of emergency management:
· Mitigation
· Preparedness
· Response
· Recovery
History of Funding
Since 2005, reimbursements from EMAP to First Nations communities have steadily increased, in some years by more than 5 times the 2005 to 2006 amount. From 2018 to 2019, $9.6 million was invested towards First Nations emergency management projects
