The Minister coordinates the carrying out of a government disaster risk management process, according to a continuous improvement approach, to develop awareness of disaster risks of national interest and to plan and put in place measures to prevent disasters and prepare the response to them, with a view to promoting society’s disaster resilience.
The government authorities composing the Organisation de la sécurité civile du Québec as well as the other government authorities solicited by the Minister must work in close collaboration to carry out the government disaster risk management process, in particular by contributing their knowledge and resources and by providing the Minister with all necessary information and documents.
The disaster risk management process is to be carried out so as to ensure the coherence and complementarity of the measures promoting disaster resilience that are put in place at the government level in the areas that contribute to civil protection, and taking climate change into account.
