Title:

Manitoba Request for Federal Assistance (SJA)

Agreement Number:

26173

Agreement Value:

$1,487,712.80

Agreement Date:

Jul 14, 2025 - Sep 11, 2025

Description:

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.

Organization:

Public Safety Canada

Expected Results:

The expected outcomes of this deployment are to prevent further health complications through early intervention and consistent medical monitoring; increase awareness of and access to community-based health and support services for evacuees; enhance emotional resilience among individuals and communities affected by the emergency; and support long-term recovery. These outcomes will lead to fewer hospital transfers and reduced strain on professional Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and healthcare systems; increased interagency operability, reinforcing Manitoba’s overall emergency preparedness and response framework; and a reduction in the incidence and severity of mental health issues such as anxiety, grief, and trauma-related stress.
