Learn about the ICS Alberta committee and Alberta’s involvement with the Incident Command System.
ICS Canada is the governance group responsible for the pan-Canadian management of the Incident Command System (ICS). The group ensures the continuity, standardization and interoperability of ICS through the country.
Through ICS Canada, provincial or territorial agencies are referred to as the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). There is only one AHJ per province or territory. Typically, the provincial or territorial government department responsible for emergency management is designated as the AHJ. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs is the AHJ for Alberta and delegated the authority to manage and administer the use of ICS to the Alberta Emergency Management Agency (AEMA).
In 2012, AEMA in conjunction with stakeholders formed the ICS Alberta committee (ICS Alberta) to provide strategic direction for the purpose of growing ICS use in Alberta.
