Challenge the Proponent to demonstrate full emergency response self-sufficiency at the Revell site, specifically addressing the text's reference to 'how local emergency personnel will be trained and resourced.'
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission discusses extending emergency planning to neighbouring communities and training local staff. However, Melgund Township is an unorganized territory with zero local emergency services (no fire, ambulance, or police). The community has no local capacity to be 'trained' or 'resourced.' Reliance on distant regional services (Ignace/Dryden) creates unacceptable risk for immediate neighbors. The Proponent must provide 100% of emergency capacity on-site rather than assuming local infrastructure exists to support their operations."
