The goal of this web site is to provide a basic understanding of Emergency Management and Business Continuity Management principles; to allow a community’s Emergency Manager to establish and maintain a state of emergency preparedness and response capability and capacity; and to position a community to be sustainable and resilient. The information, concepts and tools found on this website are presented from a Canadian perspective and are offered as potential frameworks that can be embraced by communities, or used as starting points to open dialogue, give impetus for change, or stimulate the creativity of a community to develop their own road map towards preparedness.
