The Alberta government lacks a plan to identify the most pressing disaster risks to the province, Alberta's auditor general has found. In a report released Tuesday, auditor general Doug Wylie's office found a provincial patchwork of incomplete information about the potential risks of floods, fires and other potential disasters. He also found Alberta has no ranked list of which disasters present the biggest risks and where the risk is most acute. "We have always been committed to continuous improvement in assessing and mitigating disaster risks across the province and are already taking action in line with the report's recommendations," he said in an email. Provincial ministries also have no obligation to identify and share potential disaster information with AEMA, a gap the auditor flags as problematic.
