dc.description.abstractSince disasters occur at a local level, it is important to assess community-based disaster risk management to ensure that the community can prevent and reduce new or existing risks. In response, the United Nations Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (Sendai Framework) (2015-2030) was adopted to strengthen community resilience through disaster risk management. The research question that this project examines is: can the United Nations Sendai Framework build community resilience through improved disaster risk management, including climate change adaptation measures in Fort Chipewyan? This report will employ an extensive literature review to assess some of the environmental, technological, and man-made hazards in Fort Chipewyan, as well as provide a thorough description of lessons learned from the 2016 Horse River wildfire, and current policies, legislations, and regulations in place. This will allow the report to determine the benefits, and challenges to implementing the Sendai Framework within Fort Chipewyan’s emergency management programs.
