2024 Jasper Wildfire Complex Municipal After-Action Review
In the summer of 2024, Jasper National Park faced its most devastating wildfire in a century. The fire destroyed 32% of structures within the Municipality of Jasper, including over 800 housing units, and disrupted the lives of thousands of residents and visitors. The purpose of this After-Action Review is to evaluate the collective response to the 2024 Jasper Wildfire Complex, involving the Municipality of Jasper, Parks Canada, and other supporting agencies. The insights and recommendations focus on the performance of the entire Incident Management Team (IMT), ensuring that lessons learned benefit all participants. While the Municipality of Jasper should consider these findings, the recommendations and the emphasis is on their broader relevance to incoming agencies, other communities, province-wide systems, and supporting effective collaboration during future responses.
