EXPERT EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT FOR
CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS

WHAT WE DO

Safeguarding B.C.’s Forests & Communities

In British Columbia, we have a responsibility to respectably manage our forests against wildfires and other natural disasters. We work with governments, businesses, and First Nation’s communities to assess, mitigate, and reduce resource liabilities.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS SERVICES

NEEDS ASSESSMENTS AND BUSINESS PLANS

We work with communities, Bands, and Nations to identify their needs, create a strategy and implement a program to educate, train, and empower people locally.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN

Flood, fire, tsunami, or snowstorm, we have the tools and expertise to produce an emergency response plan that fits your community and geographical area.

MENTORSHIP AND COACHING

Connecting highly trained and qualified industry professionals to individuals and communities on a as needed basis.

SUPPORT TO KEEP WORKERS LOCAL

Developing local workers and keeping them local can be challenging. We can find a variety of work lines to keep workers busy in their own community. We have qualified, experienced, and certified individuals to bridge gaps in current capacity challenges. With specific training being needed for different roles, we deliver training specific to the job opportunities.

PRESCRIBED FIRE

With vast knowledge and experience in prescribed fire, we want to help communities, Bands, and Nations safely, proactively, and efficiently burn.

FEATURED EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PROJECT

VIFM has forged a strategic partnership with Ascent Helicopter to provide comprehensive training in hoist operations.
