Emergency Management

Funded by The Advancing Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food (ACAAF) program of Agriculture and Agri-Food

This initiative is designed to help Canadian food animal industry organizations with emergency planning.

Current Status

The EMCOMM initiative is focussed on the following:

• Establishing an Emergency Management (EM) network and forum
• An annual benchmark survey of industry preparedness
• An assessment of existing training against industry needs and delivery of training if required
• Assessment of EM certification
• Assisting the development of EM plans using the Coalition’s EM Template that was developed in a previous survey
• Assisting industry with EM exercises and simulations
• Hosting an annual EM conference

Going Forward

Long term – the goal of the EMCOMM initiative is to have industry emergency plans compatible with those of the CFIA and other industry organizations to facilitate cross-sectoral coordination support.
