A Provincial Mandate
The Province of Ontario has set out legislation that all municipalities be ready to respond to community emergencies. Learn more about how emergencies are managed in Ontario.
Community Emergency Management Coordinator
Every municipality in Ontario has a Community Emergency Management Coordinator (CEMC). CEMCs are responsible for developing emergency management programs for our communities.
The CEMC develops and implements emergency plans and protocols, including emergency social services (ESS) and business continuity, as part of their municipal emergency management program. The CEMC coordinates and conducts risk assessments, liaises with stakeholders, and ensures the government and its emergency operations facilities are in a continuous state of readiness.
