Etc. 30
31 Bureau of Assistance and Information It was the first time that Quebec Emergency Management decided to create such a structure following an event, and the logistic aspects proved to be quite a challenge (to open a brand new and fully-functioning governement office in less than 48 hours). It was widely considered by all partners involved and by the city of Lac-Mégantic to be a very useful service since the office received thousands of visits during its operation. Quebec Emergency Management will include the opening of such an office in its planning for future events. 31
32 Long-Term Recovery : Bureau of Expertise and Coordination Installed in Lac-Mégantic to supervise the recovery and reconstruction of Lac-Mégantic. Under the joint responsibility of the following departments : Municipal Affairs Environment Transportation Public Safety 32

37 Lessons learned Importance of regular follow-up with local responders They knew the victims They re-live the events every day Sûreté du Québec : Operational and emotional after-action reviews Training given to officers on post-traumatic stress disorder and on the mourning process Consequence : very few psychological lasting effects on first responders Responders more apt to intervene with affected population Fire Department : no structured emotional support offered to responders. Some occurrences of post-traumatic stress disorders and psychological problems Provincial police officers have more experience dealing with stressfull situations than members of a small Fire Department like the one in Lac-Mégantic. 37
