First Nations Wildfire
Evacuation Partnership
Hello! Tân’si Ɂedlanet’e Boozhoo Aaniin
The First Nations Wildfire Evacuation Partnership (FNWEP) was established in 2013 to unite researchers, evacuated First Nations communities, and relevant agencies involved in wildfire evacuation support. The Partnership aims to learn the impacts of recent evacuations on First Nation peoples and communities to provide recommendations to reduce the negative impacts of wildfire evacuations.
The FNWEP is a collaborative work comprised of First Nations communities in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario, alongside researchers from the University of Alberta and the Canadian Forest Service. The Partnership is supported by several federal and provincial agencies and receives funding from multiple sources.
