Alberta’s public health inspectors working for both Alberta Health Services and Health Canada have been working day and night helping communities affected by flooding in the Calgary area. They have been a valuable source of information and have provided guidance to the public, businesses, and entire communities alike. The flooding in the Calgary area and throughout Southern Alberta has brought challenge and opportunity to the Alberta Branch members. Our members work within Alberta Health Services, First Nations and Inuit Health, and Alberta Health and have been working hard in various roles and levels to assist in recovery efforts. CIPHI members have been responding to requests for information through hotlines and in-person visits since the Canada Day long weekend. Public health inspectors have carried on this intense pace, even though some have been evacuated from their own homes. These individuals have been working with volunteers and those directly affected by providing necessary information to ensure the health and safety of these communities. They have been working with these groups to ensure effective rehabilitation of homes, businesses, and other locations that require our help. Many businesses were not directly impacted by the flood but were impacted through power outages and require information regarding maintaining the safety of food. Our Alberta colleagues have been working very diligently trying to get community locations reopened as quickly as possible as they have recognized the importance of these locations as community gathering spots. These locations are serving as places of community healing, connection, and recovery. Public health inspectors have been providing information regarding safe food and water, safer rehabilitation of buildings after a sewage backup, and other critical information that is required. Community members have been reporting extremely positive interactions with public health inspectors and have seen them as an invaluable resource and guiding voice during these very difficult times. ‘‘This is a real opportunity to showcase our profession’’ stated Alberta Branch President Jason MacDonald. ‘‘While applying the science of environmental health in recovery efforts, our members are exhibiting the ‘‘art’’ of environmental health. The interface between legislation and the situations in our communities is a difficult playing field, but because we are so well trained, our members are bringing a balanced and well-articulated approach to risk assessment’’ MacDonald continued. Members have been thrust into multidisciplinary teams and have provided their expertise at an extremely high level. Angella Kim, an Environmental Health Officer with Health Canada Alberta Region First Nations and Inuit Health has been part of the Rapid Assessment Structural Safety Team (RASST) that included search and rescue personnel, a fire inspector, a RCMP officer, a community representative, and a safety code officer. This team was formed by the province of Alberta to assess residential damage and flood impact to identify houses that are re-habitable or un-habitable on reserve, and code them according to their level of damage. Some areas were only accessible by helicopter due to washed out roads and bridges.
