We don’t really get to pick when emergencies happen and we can’t always plan for every scenario. It gets even
more diƯicult to predict what’s going to happen or where it could happen when you can’t easily see your
infrastructure. You know, like with all our buried piping in western Canada.

Pat Fisher is going to share a bit of his journey into municipal emergency management, including a look at three
incidents which became extremely valuable, albeit painful, learning experiences. A gravity pipe failure, a pressure
water pipe failure, and a storm induced flooding event.

Out of these case studies Pat would like to share some tips to help make your operations departments more
confident when responding to your next municipal emergency.
