Emergency management training
Training is one of the key factors for a successful response to an emergency or disaster. We oversee a provincial training program that exists to build the knowledge and skill-set of those who work in operational roles during emergencies.
Emergency management courses
We partner with the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) to provide courses, both online and in person. Each course is part of JIBC’s Emergency Management Associate Certificate.
Courses are provided at no cost to participants, and intended for staff and volunteers from Indigenous communities and local governments who fill various roles during emergency and disaster response.
- Online emergency management courses
- In-person emergency management courses
- Course descriptions
- Host an in-person course
Emergency Support Services courses
Emergency Support Services (ESS) teams engage in training and exercises as part of their continued commitment to deliver ESS in the community. These are critical to the ongoing improvement of local and regional level planning for responses to emergency events that displace people.
