23:00, 22 November 2008 (UTC):

On behalf on Pincher Creek SAR, I attended the Alberta Emergency
Management Agency and SAR Alberta consultation in Lethbridge today
(Sat 2008-11-22). The meeting was well attended, with about 20 people
there from LASARA, CSDA, Vulcan SAR, SEASAR, ACRO, SAR Alberta and
AEMA.

This meeting had very short notice, in part because of deadlines they
are facing and their desire to accommodate SAR Alberta. They committed
to better notice in the future.

AEMA has been looking at several disciplines: Fire, Emergency
Management/Disaster Services, Disaster Social Services, SAR, and
Emergency Amateur Radio. For each one it wants to develop a process
that provides accreditation, certification and standards. And it
wants to support delivery of training.

The meeting was facilitated by Fred Tyrell, on secondment from
Community Development and was very well handled. Fred led us through
a discussion of
* the strengths of the current training
* the weaknesses
* how it can be improved
* what we want from SAR Alberta related to training, operations, and admin

There were many good ideas that came from this discussion. Meeting
notes will be distributed in a couple of weeks. I'll forward them
when I get them.

SAR Alberta will be using the input in its Standards Committee and
hopefully the board.

AEMA expects to establish a working group in February to plan how
accreditation and certification would work for SAR. Spence Sample
will begin compiling his report in the summer and deliver it in the
fall of 2009. At that point it will go before the provincial cabinet
for approval.

The meeting was well worth attending for its own sake. Several of the
ideas generated can be undertaken without government support. The
facilitation that supported this discussion was excellent. AEMA, a
reformulated organization of about a year and half, has yet to
deliver much new to the SAR community. It's unclear whether these
consultations will have a real impact. However there is potential for
very good things. I recommend Pincher SAR stays involved.
