The Mowachaht/Muchalaht ancestral areas
including Yuquot (Friendly Cove) and
Ahaminaquus that can potentially be affected by
incoming tsunamis. MMFN is working to ensure
both areas have appropriate warning devices and
means of getting to higher ground.

At MMFN we follow the Provincial Earthquake
Immediate Response Strategy for preparing for
earthquakes.

We might not be able to stop it, but we can
minimize the effects of it.

We are working with local, provincial, and federal
governments and other partners for all potential
disasters and are making great progress to protect
our community while still respecting Mother Earth.

MMFN Food Security Project aims to address critical
vulnerabilities in the community’s seafood supply
chain, ensuring resilience, food security, and
emergency preparedness.

Community Wildlife Resiliency Plan

In the case of an extended power outage, the Wahmeesh Gymnasium is equipped with solar panels that store electricity. Community members are welcome to use the kitchen amenities, bathrooms, showers, and open areas for warmth or cooling.

Our FireSmart program is designed to reduce interface fire risk to our communities by providing education, equipment, training, and mock drills/tabletops for our community members.

Emergency management is guided by four pillars: Mitigation, Preparation, Response & Recovery. Our team works to ensure we are prepared for any emergency that may arise and have the resources and people in place to respond and recover as quickly as possible.

Our team has joined forces with the Gold River and Campbell River ESS teams to ensure we are able to accommodate persons affected by disasters. The Emergency Support Services provides basic supports like accommodation, food, clothing, and other temporary supports to people who are evacuated during an emergency event.
