The Pacific Northwest Preparedness Society is a non-profit organization supported entirely by volunteers. The society sponsors an annual Emergency Preparedness Conference attended by nearly 400 delegates from across the province who work or volunteer in emergency health and social services, search and rescue, firefighting and emergency preparedness planning. The conference provides provincial agencies with a forum for showcasing their accomplishments and future initiatives.

The Emergency Preparedness Conference supports the evolving disaster management field by inviting speakers from all jurisdictions across Canada and the United States to discuss new ideas, concepts and technology and to share this knowledge with delegates from our region. This in turn provides an opportunity for community emergency practitioners to improve their knowledge and skill level and keep abreast of new and improving technology and concepts of operation.
