Also there to assist them were several EMD faculty members who were
requested by the Provincial Emergency Program and the Ministry of Human
Resources’ Emergency Social Services Programs to work on the front lines.

The volunteers who did such an outstanding job in that long hot
summer had all taken at least one ESS course at the JIBC. These courses
cover all the basic areas: a straightforward introduction to ESS; the roles and
responsibilities of an ESS Director; managing a reception centre for evac-
uees; registering and referring people for food, clothing and lodging; and
acquiring those same necessities. “It’s a legislated requirement for British
Columbia’s 180 communities to provide ESS? says Cornell. “We provide
training for the volunteers but also to local government employees who
will, of course, also be involved in any emergency. It’s proved its value often”

e have all heard it said that in order to enforce the law, some-

times you have to break it. Patrol cars pursue speeders. No

critically ill patient wants to make the ambulance trip at less
than the posted limit. But the Justice Institute’s philosophy of driving is
to get to Point B sooner by proceeding at a constant pace. Starting with
smooth consistency as his basis, Al Lund keeps himself alert to chances to
move up through the rush-hour density of, say, the Lougheed Highway. He
displays the mastery of steady clockwork and kilometre-eating discipline of
his safe-driving method.

Here is a fellow who can write a fourteen-page safety memo on how
to take corners more safely and what your tire pressure can tell you about
your driving. You don’t check your tire pressure? He advises drivers to do
walkarounds, as pilots do preflight inspections, before ever leaving the
driveway.
