Emergencies can occur anywhere and at any time, as we have seen with new and emerging events ranging from infectious diseases such as H1N1, influenza, and the COVID-19 pandemic to extreme weather events and environmental hazards such as flooding and forest fires.
Effective emergency management ensures we are ready to cope with and recover from threats to public health or disruptions to public health programs and services. This is done through a range of activities carried out in coordination with our 31 municipalities and other community partners.
Emergency management planning and its associated activities is a critical role in strengthening the overall resilience of our communities and the broader health system.
The goal of our Emergency Management program is to enable consistent and effective management of emergency situations within our Nipissing and Parry Sound districts with the main program outcome to be ready to respond to and recover from new and emerging events and/or emergencies with public health impacts. s we continue to work internally and externally with our community partners, we are effectively preparing for emergencies to ensure 24/7 timely, integrated, safe, and effective response to, and recovery from emergencies with public health impacts, in accordance with ministry policy and guidelines.
