CANADA PREPARES TO DEAL WITH DISASTER III How Are We Setting 'Up Disaster Services? Aim of Canada's civil defence services for dealing with disaster is, broadly, to minimize the toll of catastrophe, in terms of human suffering, to keep loss to a mini- mum, to maintain production and bolster the "will to fight," where there is a hostile force to combat, and to maintain the "will to come back" from natural calamity. Government manuals issued for public information detail the es- sential measures to be undertaken. as designed to reduce loss of life and injury, to afford medical and other assistance to the civil pop- ulation, to ensure that essential production will continue, to re- store public utilities and services as quickly as possible and to miti- gate property damage which may have been caused. Since civil defence, iri its very essence, is the assurance of the continuity of community services, the main operational responsibiI- ity, apart from overall planning, training and co-ordination, falls on those local municipal agencies which are called upon from day to day to maintain the normal amenities of life in Canada's urban communities and other organized areas. Thus, Civil defence authorities point out, self-help and mutual aid —keys to the defeat of disaster— are responsibilities of each and every citizen. The localgovern- ments—the municipalities—are re- sponsible for the provision of an organization so that the people can produce co-ordinated self-help. Provincial governments are charged with providing mutual aid between communities and the fed- eral government's role is that of ensuring that appropriate defence measures are taken, that there are services to put them into effect and that such activities are co- ordinated for maximum ,effective- ness. Defence Areas For civil defence purposes, Can- ada is divided into target, mutual aid and mobile support and re- ception areas. Their names are self-explanatory. They embrace every section of the country — cities most likely to be attacked or where disaster would wreck the heaviest toll, communities not so likely to be struck, where sup- porting aid could be mobilized quickly to help those which suf- fer, and the rest of the country where, in addition to emergency relief, facilities could be enlisted for care of victims of the areas devastated. Defence Services Communities organized to deal with disaster are setting up ser- vices which include; police, with volunteer auxiliaries; fire, with volunteers, to meet extraordinary fire hazards; health services, or- ganized for the treatment of cas- ualties and maintenance of com- munity health standards; ambu- lance volunteers, for rapid move- ment of casualties; rescue work- ers, for recovery of people trapped in collapsed buildings; welfare volunteers, to reduce such stress on the public as disaster might bring; engineers, to aid in restor- ing public utilities. clearing debris, etc., and wardens, to provide aid, information and leadership to lo- cal groups and individuals in cop- ing with their troubles. Organizing Apace The federal government has gone far to see that adequate services are established, trained and equipped, It has provided siren warning systems to possible target areas, contributed to the cost of provincial civil defence projects, underwritten part of the cost of standardizing such essen- tial tools as firefighting equip- ment, 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 information pro- gram 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 coun- trThe provinces have all set up civil defence organizations and many of the major cities have est- ablished and are training strong forces for Arnergency duty. Canada is indeed preparing for concerted action to tackle what- ever emergency may arise. Not the least important of her efforts has been directed towards enlist- ing the active interest and co- operation in these measures of the individual citizen. Self-help being the essence of civil defence, the country is anxious that everyone should know what to do in disas- ter and that every community should be so organized, trained and equipped that loss, both hue man and material, would be kept to a minimum.
