Who We Are

VIEP Conference Society

​The acronym VIEP, in the Society's name, stands for Vancouver Island Emergency Preparedness.

The VIEP Conference Society was established in 2008 to support Vancouver Island and neighbouring islands in hosting a biennial conference for emergency preparedness volunteers, community groups, non-profit organizations and professionals. Over the years, the role of the Society has expanded.  In addition to supporting the conference, we encourage and support local emergency preparedness workshops, and administrer a bursary and award.

The conference, which is organized by our Conference Committee,  provides participants with emergency preparedness learning opportunities in the areas--also known as pillars--of emergency mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. The work of the Committee is governed by an eight-member Board of Directors, which provides direction and oversight.
