Jurisdictional Scan: Public Emergency Communications

This jurisdictional scan examines how five Canadian jurisdictions – British Columbia, Alberta, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Northwest Territories – manage public emergency communications, providing insights to inform Yukon’s approach.

Key findings highlight the critical importance of integrated information platforms, multi-channel communication strategies (combining digital and traditional media), clear governance and messaging policies, and tailored solutions for remote connectivity challenges.

The report includes high-level recommendations for Yukon, and the jurisdiction comparison table provides province and territory-specific profiles from across Canada.
