Emergency Planning Secretariat

The Emergency Planning Secretariat supports 31 Mainland Coast Salish communities in strengthening local and regional emergency planning and preparedness. I had the privilege of joining EPS in the summer of 2024 as a Communications Student, and delivered multiple communication initiatives during my employment. Featured below are a few of the initiatives I led and supported: 

Forest Fire

Preparedness Series

The Preparedness Series promotes resilience in First Nations communities by fostering emergency readiness through focused discussions on emergencies and disasters. I piloted and developed the first four instalments of the series on forest fires, extreme heat, drought and evacuations.

Short Videos

As part of the social media plan, I developed numerous Tik Tok/reel-style videos that showed helpful emergency preparedness tips. These videos were made for a social media audience who primarily interacted through mobile. 

Trees

Social Media Designs

After developing a posting plan and schedule, I designed and executed a number of different social media campaigns featuring custom images and strategically crafted messaging.
