Safe travels: Preparing places for emergencies and climate risks – Revelstoke E6

Destination planning isn’t complete without emergency management. What should tourism destinations anticipate over the next 50 years? How well can we forecast fire seasons? Dr. Mike Flannigan is a BC-based wildfire and emergency management expert who tells us about some of the risks to Revelstoke along with advice for other places preparing for the possibility of climate-fuelled emergencies. 


Our hosts are Robyn Goldsmith, Destination & Sustainability Manager at Tourism Revelstoke, and Rodney Payne, CEO at Destination Think.
