To do so, it will examine Canada's various policies and frameworks for Emergency Management, and the international documents and agreements on which they are based. These frameworks shape the way in which collaboration, and communication is addressed by Federal, Provincial and Territorial EM planning and outlines the direction in which EM in Canada is headed. Indigenous peoples face a particular set of vulnerabilities from inter-generational traumas resulting from historic colonial practices that create unique obstacles to effective emergency management. These vulnerabilities are amplified by the reserve system and cultural difficulties toward beneficial municipal and provincial partnerships. By looking at existing EM practices through the principles of High Reliability Organizations, while bearing a sensitivity to the appropriateness to First Nations on-reserve communities we can develop a comprehensive and adaptable framework to Indigenous determinants of vulnerability and uncover assets within Indigenous communities that can improve the Canadian practices of EM in general.
