Extractions: UN International Search and Rescue Advisory Group (INSARAG) INSARAG is an inter-governmental network under the United Nations umbrella, which deals with urban search and rescue (USAR) and related disaster response issues. Its purpose is to provide a platform for information exchange in order to define standards for international USAR assistance and to develop methodology for international cooperation and coordination in earthquake response. INSARAG includes earthquake-prone countries as well as traditional providers of international assistance. Experience has shown that secondary effects of natural and technogenic disasters require additional specialist advice in conjunction with SAR response and other humanitarian aid missions. This is particularly important at the interface between wildlands and urban and other residential areas interface where wildland fires constitute a major problem for urban populations. Related hazards also include the smoke pollution caused by wildland fires which is threatening public health in urban and other residential areas. At the INSARAG Regional Group Africa/Europe meeting in December 1999 (Germany) a first proposal was elaborated to establish an INSARAG Fire Group consisting of three subgroups: At a meeting at the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN-OCHA) in January 2000 it was agreed that the original mandate of INSARAG which in addition to search and rescue would also covers wider aspects of disaster/emergency response. This could include a variety of natural and human-made disasters, including wildland fires. INSARAG would assist in strengthening UN-OCHA's role by:

The WHO Golden Rules for Safe Food Preparation Brief Description of the Organization: WHO's constitution specifically mandates the organization in the field of humanitarian assistance in emergencies "to act as the directing and coordinating authority on international health work; to furnish appropriate technical assistance and, in emergencies, necessary aid upon the request or acceptance of governments." WHO is also mandated "to provide, or assist in providing, upon the request of the United Nations, health services and facilities to special groups, such as the people of the trust territories." The organization has also long been designated as the lead agency within the UN system for health-related aspects of emergencies, and should advise the other partners on coordination in this field. This health coordination role, as distinguished from operational support, makes WHO a key partner of OCHA and other emergency oriented agencies represented on the IASC.

In the past couple years, British Columbia has been bombarded with bad news, and yet, for most of us, life continues virtually unchanged. Look around-the housing market continues to boom, our favourite retail stores are always bustling, and the line-ups are long at the coffee shop drive-thru's. In spite of the doom and gloom in the news, we keep living like everything's great. I wonder if anyone else besides me is wondering what's really going on. Catastrophic forest fires, mad cows and sick chickens, decimated pine forests, SARS, crippled forestry and fisheries-I can't help but wonder if something bigger than we can see is going on. Let's face it-we Canadians have lived with ease for generations, and with such a comfortable standard of living, that we have believed ourselves to be untouchable from natural and human-made disasters. Devastating events and epidemics are supposed to happen in faraway places, under-developed and poverty-stricken nations, not Canada.

Ways to ensure fair treatment were added to the Income Tax Act Customs Act , and Excise Tax Act in the early 1990s. These measures, called the fairness provisions, give the CCRA common-sense ways to help clients who, because of extraordinary circumstances, are unable to meet their tax or duty obligations. The provisions give us the discretion in certain situations to: cancel and waive penalties and interest; accept late-filed, amended, or revoked elections (income tax only); and issue income tax refunds beyond the normal three-year period (individuals and testamentary trusts only).
