Emergency Management

Emergency Management Program

The mission of the program: to create and maintain a cooperative organization to manage risks from major emergencies and disasters that may affect the City of Nanaimo.

The two-part mission statement has been adopted to guide emergency management actions in the City of Nanaimo. The term "emergency management" reflects the intent to continuously examine actions that might help reduce the likelihood and impact of major emergencies and disasters. These actions include:

• understanding the risks
• taking all reasonable steps to reduce the threat
• planning for both response and recovery
• ensuring site support teams and community residents are prepared to act when needed
• continually evaluating and improving the program
