The After Action Review Northwest Territories 2023 Wildfire Season: Final Report produced by Transitional Solutions Inc. is now available online at: https://www.maca.gov.nt.ca/sites/maca/files/resources/nwt_after-action_review_-_bilingual.pdf . The report is 164 pages. There is significant discussion of the role of the Incident Command System (ICS).
The Society has no comments in respect of this or previous reports. The amateur radio community was active in maintaining radio communications locally and globally for the entire period from about May to October 2023. Local amateur radio operators maintain their stations which are capable of running on emergency power and independent of infrastructure (whether hydro, phone lines, fibre optic cable or satellites). The troposphere is generally always there (and if it is not, well...that would be the end of the Anthropocene epoch). The Society also continued to operate its repeater network based in Yellowknife and Behchokǫ̀ with coverage 40 km outside of Behchokǫ̀ all the way to Tibbet Lake and well into Great Slave Lake (Inner Whalebacks).

There is an interesting article on the Cabin Radio website about COVID-19: https://cabinradio.ca/126850/news/health/coronavirus/in-the-next-pandemic-what-would-kandola-and-cochrane-do-differently/ . The article includes a summary of the recommendations made in: Learning from the Response to COVID-19 at https://www.fin.gov.nt.ca/sites/fin/files/resources/learning_from_the_response_to_covid-19-report_and_recommendations.pdf . That document was published in March 2023. The Government of the Northwest Territories website page is at https://www.fin.gov.nt.ca/en/resources/learning-response-covid-19-report-and-recommendations .
