Pre-Event Planning
The ideas we have explored around the ‘Vision’ and the ‘Activity Plan’ are part of pre-event planning
To fully plan our event we need to add (and integrate):• Hazard and Defense Planning• Team Building
Activity Plan
Hazards & Defenses
Team Building
Launch pad for a great event
Q1: Can we reduce all risk to zero?Q2: How much risk is too much?
A: Determined by public opinion
B: Industry standardC: Your organization
D: You
Hazards & Defenses
Q3: How can we measure risk?
A: Size = Probability x Consequence (Canadian Standards Association)
So: High Probability x Low Consequence (may) =
Low Probability x High Consequence
B: Incident reports
An incident: is any event that is unexpected and has the potential to
cause harm, or actually does cause harm
Pre-Event Planning
Q: What is a hazard?
A: Anything that might give rise to a negative consequence for our group
Pre-Event Planning
Q: What are the 2 main strategies we can use to reduce risk?
• Limit Complexity
• Build a resilient group
Pre-Event Planning
Risk Factor Class 1 Class 2 Class 3
Distance to additional resources at road or lodge
No more than 3 hrs to trailhead.
Multiple days, but 8 hr hike to base.
No Limit
Fall Exposure Easily managed or avoidableFall hazard exists but manageable with moderate consequence.
short sections with unavoidable & serious consequence, but can be managed without a rope
Technical DifficultySmooth & Easy. Sections of unstable footing are short & isolated
Talus and loose footing, some rough sections, trails may be poorly maintained
Use of hands may be required. Fixed hand lines or chains may be present. May be sustained sections of unstable footing.
Fresh Water
25cm deep for stationary/ slow moving and 15cm for fast moving with no down-water hazards
25-50cm deep for slow moving and 15-30cm for fast moving with no down-water hazards
50cm + deep for slow moving and 30cm + for fast moving with down-water hazards
Tidal WaterGently sloping and non-slippery intertidal zone. No surge.
Surge Channels and tidal entrapment easily avoided. Moderate wave hazard may exist. Moderately sloping. Some slipping hazard
Surge channels, tidal entrapment and wave hazards may be present. Steeply sloping, rocky, and slippery intertidal zone
Weather ExposureGenerally sheltered, or easy retreat to shelter
May be exposed but can retreat to shelter within 45 minutes
Exposed areas with difficult or no retreat.
Navigation On trails, or untracked with natural boundaries and/or hand rails.
Simple route choices. May require a compass and/or GPS
Complicated navigation difficult route finding or lack of or minimal landmarks
Remember:
This course certifies you to lead in Class 1 hiking terrain only
Unless:‘You have additional training and experience that has been validated as sufficient by other respected outdoor leaders who agree that you have the required skills and experience’
Hazards & Defenses
Q : What are the 2 main strategies we can use to reduce risk?
• Limit complexity
• Build a resilient group
Q: What are the processes we use to do that?
Hazards & Defenses
Q : What are the 2 main strategies we can use to reduce risk?
• Limit complexity
• Build a resilient group
• Create a solid event plan• Identify Hazards• Assess our ‘Vulnerability’• Identify Defenses
Hazard identification and defense planning

Q: Where does this information come from?
Hazards & Defenses
Q : What are the 2 main strategies we can use to reduce risk?
• Limit complexity
• Build a resilient group
• Create a solid event plan• Identify Hazards• Assess our ‘Vulnerability’• Identify Defenses
Q: What do these look like?
Hazards & Defenses
What do defenses look like?
• Equipment• Good pre-trip planning• Good team building• Good group management (in field)• Leader training

Hazards & Defenses
•Plan accordingly
Hazard Exercise
Use your ‘East Sooke Park Activity Plan’ and discuss: - What hazards might you encounter - The vulnerability of your group - What physical defenses (gear) you will need to use
