First Nations Emergency Management and Employment Training Program
We employ who we train and we get you ready for a career in emergency management. Understanding Hazardscape is critical to the success of our employment and training program because we are a social enterprise.
By contracting with Hazardscape Indigenous organizations and communities fund Indigenous emergency manager development.
How are we different?
Our organization’s legal structure is a corporation but its charter, bylaws, and governing documents have a social purpose. This purpose guides everything from product/service design to supply‑chain choices.
Profit isn’t ignored; it funds operations, growth, and reinvestment. However, a substantial portion of revenue, or at least the net impact of the revenue, is directed toward achieving measurable social outcomes directly related to advancing Indigenous Emergency Management.
Decision‑making involves our network, employees, the communities we work with, the people who engage with us through social media, and other contractors rather than being solely shareholder centric.
We are constantly reviewing what it means to be a social enterprise focused on Indigenous Emergency Management. In the future we will have more transparency and we are striving to be Indigenous owned.
How do we use our revenues?
Employ Indigenous Peoples
Maintain low-cost accessibility to our Employment and Training Program
Maintain the Hazardscape Knowledge Hub
Employ and contract those we train to give them experience and help enhance our services and programs
Sponsor Indigenous events
What is the Employment and Training Program?
We have two components to our program:
In-community Delivery
Our in-community program is a week long intensive training meant for teams but any community member (any age) or staff member can attend. Our base training includes:
Introduction to Emergency Management and Leadership (Full day).
Community Hazard and Risk Assessments including Fire Protection Service Level Assessments (1/4 day classroom, 3/4 day on the land)
Community Emergency Operations Centre Design and Set-up (1/2 day classroom, 1/2 day mock activation)
Community emergency services awareness and equipment demonstrations (1/4 day classroom, 3/4 day hands-on)
Emergency Management Planning Basics (2 hours)
Individual and Family Preparedness (1 hour)

Remote Delivery
Our remote delivery program is tailored to individuals who want to learn at their own pace but in a structured way with support. No previous emergency management experience is needed but during our intake we like to get to know everyone’s skills and background because all skillsets and backgrounds are relevant to emergency management.
We provide the same learnings as our in-community program but we use more general terms because we are not working with a specific community.
Incident Command System (ICS) Training
We offer ICS training to anyone who wants their ICS Canada certification. ICS 100 can be part of the in-community and remote options. If you are interested please let us know.
Instructor Training and Curriculium
Want to teach Basic Emergency Management in your local area? We develop instructors and provide all of the training materials.
All of our training options are modular and flexible meaning they can be easily customized for any skill or performance level.
