This presentation draws attention to the personal and professional impacts on individuals working in and around climate displacement, emergency management, and public health across five regions in British Columbia. Drawing from a one-year CIHR Catalyst project, we provide evidence and arguments of how evacuations and displacements impact these professionals in differing ways, based on location (north, interior, fraser, coastal, island). We also provide examples of how professionals display strengths, assets, passion, and capacity for working in this space in a transformative way. Yet there is a siloing of our systems, which prevents intersectoral collaboration and an ever-needed upstream focus on prevention and preparedness. Participants in our project valued the role the research team played in creating a generative space to convene and engage professionals (health authority personnel, government employees, Indigenous Peoples, and non-governmental organizations) in ways that centered health, well-being, and care, challenged the siloing of the work, and provided space to discuss place-based solutions collaboratively and proactively.
