Response plans for specific emergencies and hazards that could affect the province.
Government emergency plans address specific hazards.
The Alberta Emergency Management Agency (AEMA):
This plan ensures effective emergency management in Alberta through an emergency management system dedicated to preparing for, responding to, recovering from and building resilience to emergencies and disasters.
In 2019, the Government of Alberta began a comprehensive review of the Alberta Emergency Plan (AEP), resulting in the AEP 2021 (PDF, 1.5 MB).
Overall, the plan provides:
The AEP is intended for all emergency management stakeholders in Alberta. Recognizing the need to work effectively with Alberta’s emergency management community, the Alberta Emergency Management Agency is offering targeted stakeholders the opportunity to review and provide feedback on the AEP 2021. Consolidated feedback will be incorporated into a revised plan, which will be shared with all stakeholders concurrent with hazard season 2022.

The purpose of the Dangerous Goods Incident Support Plan is to ensure the safety of persons, property and the environment whenever a dangerous goods incident occurs on Alberta’s transportation network.
For more information please contact the Provincial Operations Centre (POC) at 1-866-618-AEMA (2362).
The Community Emergency Management Program (CEMP) is an on-line tool, which provides communities access to 4 essential emergency management modules:
These modules assist in developing, implementing and revising emergency management plans using a standardized format. CEMP assists with coordinating emergency management and recovery through regional efforts.
Alberta communities are encouraged to share emergency management plans and risk assessments, which allows AEMA to collect specific hazard identification and risk assessment data across the province.
The purpose of the First Nation emergency planning model is to assist First Nation communities in developing, implementing or revising their emergency plan.
This planning model uses a standardized format that disperses resources when mutual aid assistance is required. It is an all-hazard approach that maximizes the resources during a response to natural or man-made disasters.
This planning model also addresses the legal, organizational, social and recovery aspects of emergency planning.
The Alberta HIIA Response and Recovery Plan is a comprehensive hazard-specific consequence management plan. HIIA is different from other plans because:
The plan clarifies:
Municipalities should update their emergency management plans to reflect the unique characteristics of a HIIA.
The objective of the Earthquake Response Plan for British Columbia (ERPBC) (currently under review) is to coordinate Alberta’s assistance to British Columbia during a catastrophic earthquake.
The plan outlines activities that work together with the federal government's national earthquake support plan and the British Columbia earthquake response plan.
