MISSION STATEMENT:

The Canadian Centre for Emergency Preparedness (CCEP) is a not-for-profit organization based in Burlington, Ontario devoted to the promotion of emergency risk management to individuals, communities and organizations, in both government and the private sector, with the aim of reducing the risk, impact and cost of natural, human-induced and technological disasters.

CCEP's objectives are to raise awareness of the increasing risks of disasters, promote the need for sound disaster management practices and disseminate information on the availability of professional expertise and resources, including technology.

CCEP will achieve its mission through the promotion of the following:

Disaster Management Principles & Practices

  • Methodologies (e.g. Incident Command System, Ten Professional Practices for Business Continuity)
  • Standards (e.g. NFPA 1600)
  • Programs (e.g. Partnerships for Safer Communities, Community Emergency Response Volunteer programs).

Education & Training

  • Recognized public and private institutions that provide post secondary and post graduate courses in emergency risk management and business continuity (e.g. Universities/Colleges, public, NGO and private sector training institutions).

Career Development

  • Advice to those interested in pursuing a career in disaster management
  • Promotion of professional certification bodies (e.g. IAEM, CEPA, DRII/DRIC, BCI, DRIE).

Research Results
  • Participating in disaster management research
  • Disseminating results of research
  • Providing opportunities for disaster researchers and disaster management practitioners to come together
