Team Rubicon will mobilize in response to Newfoundland and Labrador's request for federal assistance regarding the wildfire situation, to provide humanitarian support and incident management in Newfoundland. The goal is to augment current Emergency Operations Centre staff and conduct Hasty Damage Assessments to support recovery planning within the municipality.

The province of Newfoundland and Labrador requested federal assistance in response to the wildfire situation. This request led to the deployment of Search and Rescue Volunteer Association of Canada (SARVAC) responders under the Humanitarian Workforce (HWF) program. Their role was to support safety and travel management, evacuations, wellness checks, and security efforts in response to increasing capacity demands caused by high summer temperatures, overlapping displacement events, and a dynamic wildfire response situation.

The Search and Rescue Volunteer Association of Canada (SARVAC) will deploy sixteen responders per week over a period of four weeks to support evacuees and those displaced by the Manitoba wildfires, including Indigenous Peoples, in response to Manitoba's request for federal assistance. This deployment will assist with evacuations and shelter operations, the distribution of prepared meals, the provision of basic information, triaging and directions, and the delivery of peer mental wellness supports.

The World Customs Organization (WCO) is an independent intergovernmental body whose mission is to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of customs administrations. The WCO currently has 177 member governments. A member of the WCO, Canada has taken a key role in areas such as trade facilitation, revisions to the Harmonized System, capacity building, combating counterfeiting and the development and implementation of the Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade (SAFE). Canada’s contribution to the WCO advances its interests internationally, particularly given the importance of international trade for the Canadian economy.

This project outlines a 30-day deployment model designed to provide scalable and coordinated services in both medical first response and psychosocial support, in response to Manitoba's request for federal assistance due to active wildfires. The deployment will be structured with rotating teams to ensure sustained coverage for evacuees while allowing for responder rest and continuity of operations. The plan is designed to be flexible and will be adapted as necessary, in alignment with local and provincial needs.

Clinic owners, such as Physiotherapists, Psychologists, and Doctors, face increased operational challenges post-Covid, with staffing shortages and declining margins prompting many to consider leaving their practices.

Online sexual exploitation has increased dramatically in the past ten years, and more so since the start of the Covid 19 pandemic. The rise in housing instability for youth and families has also increased youth vulnerability.

This project will leverage the Canadian Red Cross's existing capacity and provide support and service delivery gaps for the immediate and long-term to those affected by the Alberta 2024 wildfires. There will be a focus on the Municipality of Jasper and the surrounding communities as this is the area of greatest impact, but the project will still extend beyond Jasper.
