The Central Okanagan's emergency operations centre got plenty of use this year, through spring flooding and summer fires.
But with the EOC made up of municipal staff members doing double duty from their day jobs, officials will look at how to deal with potential employee burnout.
Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran says the idea came from councillor Luke Stack, after seeing the amount of extra work that staff had to put in.
"I just want to be clear though, that some people have misinterpreted Luke's comments as wanting a review of how the EOC is run. ANd I can tell you that that wasn't his intention, and of course we can always tweak it to make it better. But what Luke is suggesting is look, when you've got employees working these crazy long hours, we've got to strike a balance here before it has an impact."
Basran says the pooling of resources that happens during emergencies in the Central Okanagan is something many other communities don't have.
"There are other areas of the province that don't have the response that we do, and we just know that when we activate that EOC, that employees from the various municipalities of our region and the Regional District, just quietly slip into their rolls, and off we go," he said.
"We really are, I believe, leaders in the province when it comes to emergency response."
The mayor had the opportunity to speak about emergency response during a mayor's panel discussion at the Union of BC Municipalities convention this past week.
Another topic of discussion was the legalization of marijuana, of which Basran admits that council hasn't endorsed either the private business or government-regulated method of pot distribution.
He says that's because whichever method is chosen, the city will want the see the same outcome, which is a cut of the profits to pay for enforcement.
