5 5 Operational Support Function Emergency Level Notifications Primary / Lead Agency / Division: Office of Emergency Management (OEM) Supporting Agencies / Divisions: (ABCD's) Toronto Emergency Management Program Committee (TEMPC) TEMPC Control Group Emergency Management Working Group Strategic Communications External Supporting Agencies: N/A 1.0 Introduction Under the direction of the Toronto Emergency Management Program Committee s (TEMPC) Control Group (CG), the Office of Emergency Management's (OEM) primary responsibilities focus on the City s emergency management program, the implementation of the City s Emergency Plan and the operation of the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) during a Major Incident or Emergency Incident affecting all, or a large portion of the City. Daily activities involve the City s emergency management program as defined in the Ontario Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (Reg. 380/04). The Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act Ontario (1990, c. E.9) defines emergency as "a situation or an impending situation that constitutes a danger of major proportions that could result in serious harm to persons or substantial damage to property and that is caused by the forces of nature, a disease or other health risk, an accident or an act whether intentional or otherwise". 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this Operational Support Function is to outline the response capabilities of the Office of Emergency Management in the event of an emergency in the City of Toronto. It outlines Office of Emergency Management s scalable response based on the magnitude of the event or impending situation. This OSF also provides guidance on emergency notification protocols. As a guideline, it provides the Office of Emergency Management with a general basis for notification and contacts to be made during emergencies of varying magnitude and complexity.

6 6 1.2 Scope The scope of this document is limited to the decision making processes and notification steps taken by the Office of Emergency Management. This guideline is limited to the OEM s response capabilities and activities applicable to the operation of the City s Emergency Operations Centre and the OEM response during a Major Incident or Emergency Incident in the City of Toronto. This document provides the OEM with a general basis for notification and contacts to be made during emergencies of varying magnitude and complexity. 2.0 Concept of Operations 2.1 General Operational Support Functions are supporting documents to the City of Toronto Emergency Plan (COTEP). While these are stand-alone documents not contained in the Emergency Plan they contain the structure and framework for integrated support by Lead and Supporting Agencies, Boards, Commissions and Divisions (ABCD's) in the most frequently grouped operational functions responding to emergencies. Figure 1 illustrates the relationship between the Toronto Emergency Plan, this Emergency Level Notifications OSF, and the other OSFs and Risk Specific Plans (formerly Emergency Operating Procedures EOPs).

8 8 2.2 Emergency Level Notifications Most emergencies are managed at the scene by Emergency Services (Police, Fire & EMS) and the City Divisions and Agencies (Water, Transportation, etc.) and are considered routine operations. (Emergency Level 0 Normal). See Table 1. Emergencies of greater magnitude do happen and require an emergency management response structure beyond normal daily operations. The response required must be appropriate to the magnitude of the incident as defined in the Emergency Levels classification. (Emergency Level 1 Minor Incident; Emergency Level 2 Major Incident and Emergency Level 3 Emergency Incident).

OEM Support EOC Notification Business as Usual Normal Operations OEM support available 24 / 7 via 'Standby' At the Request of the Site Incident Commander OEM 'Standby' has the ability to: Facilitate access to City Divisions, External Agencies and / or Facilitate integration of City Divisions /External Agencies into IMS structure and / or Attend Site as a Liaison Officer OEM 'Standby' Coordinator remains as Liaison Officer at the Site. Operationally Ready Operationally Ready Operationally Ready OEM 'Standby' may Monitor OEM Director may Activate the EOC EOC Activated No OEM Notification Required No OEM Notification Required Once Notified, OEM: Must Notify City Manager, Deputy City Manager, Cluster 'B' if OEM support is required May Notify Emergency Management Working Group (as required) May Notify Other Key Divisions / Agencies (as required) Once Notified, OEM: Must Notify City Manager, Deputy City Manager, Cluster 'B' Must Notify EMWG / TEMPC / Control Group Must Notify Other Key Divisions / Agencies

10 Emergency Level Classifications To identify the most appropriate Office of Emergency Management response to an incident it is useful to designate an Emergency Risk Level. The response required must be appropriate to the magnitude of the incident as defined in the Emergency Level Classification Level 0 Normal Normal operations Mobilize resources to meet standards Business as usual for emergency services and operational Divisions. At this Level, there is a low risk to City operations Level 1 Minor Incident A small event that can be managed with existing emergency services resources and minimal support from other ABCDs. At this Level, there is a low to moderate risk to City operations. Generally, this type of incident will impact a single facility or community and may or may not require response by agencies beyond emergency services. This Level would be considered a contained incident i.e. there are controls in place to respond to an irregularity, and the community is expected to cope. Minor Incidents are generally limited to One Site Responders experience some difficulty mobilizing resources to meet standards Two or more Agencies involved Level 2 Major Incident At this Level there is moderate to high risk to people, property and / or City operations. Multiple facilities and / or business / economic stakeholders may be impacted with a response needed across more than three ABCD's. These incidents are usually within the capabilities of the City of Toronto and may include a response by external agencies. This could be considered an uncontained incident within the City i.e. controls have failed or are failing to cope. At this Level the Mayor may declare an emergency. Major Incidents may involve Two or more Sites Require three or more ABCD's to coordinate response activities to meet standards Limited Evacuations or Shelter in Place High Media attention Office of Emergency Management: o Must Notify Deputy City Manager, Cluster 'B' o May Notify EMWG and Other Key Divisions / Agencies (as required)

11 Level 3 Emergency Incident An emergency of this level requires City-wide coordination and has high media interest which extends the City of Toronto's emergency response resources to its extremes. At this level the incident is impacting the wider organization and extraordinary resources are required. A Level 3 Emergency usually involves Multiple Sites Regional disaster beyond City of Toronto boundaries Multiple ABCD's response and external partners Extensive Evacuations or Shelter in Place High Media attention Office of Emergency Management: o Must Notify Deputy City Manager, Cluster 'B' o Must Notify EMWG, TEMPC, Control Group and Other Key Divisions / Agencies (as required) 2.4 Notifications In the event of an emergency of sufficient magnitude to be classified as a Level 2 or Level 3 incident, as described in Emergency Level Notifications Table (Table 1), the Office of Emergency Management 'Standby' Coordinator will initially be contacted by the Toronto Police Communications Centre or a member / representative of the Toronto Emergency Management Program Committee as their Divisions are often directly involved in site response, e.g. Toronto Water, Transportation Services. Upon receiving an emergency notification the 'Standby' Coordinator will liaise with the notifying Service, Division / Agency and utilize the Emergency Levels Notification Table (Table 1) as a tool to assist in establishing the immediate notifications that may be necessary and / or appropriate and further notifications that may be required in the following 1 to 24 hours Office of Emergency Management's 'Standby' Mailbox Telephone Number The Office of Emergency Management s 'Standby' Coordinator can be reached 24 Hours a Day / 7 Days a Week by calling the designed number.

12 Office of Emergency Management's 'Standby' OEM Activation Event Summary Form The Office of Emergency Management s 'Standby' Coordinator is responsible for completing the 'Standby' OEM Activation Event Summary Form when they are Notified of a Level 2 or Level 3 emergency incident by one of the Emergency Services or Divisions. A copy of the "OEM Activation Event Summary Form" is found in Appendix 'D' of this OSF. Details obtained of the Call and Event include Caller Information o Contacted by: Name and Telephone Number o Date & Time Incident Information o Type / Scale o Address Incident Details o Who is On Scene o Who has been Notified o Estimated Duration o OEM Requested to Site? Other Information (Type / Duration or EHS Response OEM Activation: Next Steps Authority to Activate the Emergency Operations Centre This Emergency Level Notifications Operational Support Function identifies the circumstances under which the EOC will be activated. Any member of the TEMPC, Control Group or Working Group has the authority and responsibility to request an activation of the EOC and otherwise initiate the implementation of the Emergency Plan. Requests to activate the EOC are directed to either the Director of the Office of Emergency Management or to the OEM's 24 hour a day, 7 days a week 'Standby' Coordinator. The Emergency Level Notifications Operational Support Function identifies the criteria and triggers which the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) will be activated. During a "Level 2 - Major Incident", the Site Incident Commander may request support from the Office of Emergency Management (OEM), including requesting the activation of the EOC. During a "Level 3 - Emergency Incident", the OEM will activate the EOC. Criteria and triggers for activating the EOC are based on the Emergency Levels Protocol and a culmination of the following decision factor guidelines contributing to heightened media attention:

13 13 Public Health & Safety (Actual or Potential) Essential Lifelines (Critical Infrastructure) Municipal Services Continuity Operational Efficiency The EOC may be activated with or without a Declaration of an Emergency or Provincial Emergency; however, it will be activated once a Declaration has been made. Additional details about the activation and operation of the City's Emergency Operations Centre can be found in the following Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) Operational Support Function, and Incident Management System (IMS) Operational Support Function Office of Emergency Management Immediate Response The Office of Emergency Management s immediate emergency response is dependent on the complexity and risk presented by an emergency as defined in the Emergency Levels Decision Factors Guideline (Table 2). The Table outlines OEM's scalable response based on the magnitude of the event or impending situation. Table 2 is to be used as a general guideline only. It is not possible to consider all the variables of complexity involved in any specific event, such as time of day, time of year, geographic location(s), etc. As a guideline, it is not intended to quantify the extent of the City s response, the extent of the risk, the affect on the rest of the City and surrounding area or the degree of public concern. As emergency responses progress, the assigned emergency level may change as additional information and details are received. Specific circumstances will require ad hoc decisions to be made at the time of the event. This is a normal and expected element of response.

15 Councillor Notification & Roles in an Emergency In addition to the Emergency Levels Decision Factors Guideline the Toronto Emergency Management Program Committee approved a notifications protocol for the Mayor and City Councillors. Most emergencies are managed at the Site by Emergency Services and City Divisions and are considered routine operations. Some Divisions already have pre-established notification procedures with Councillors. For example, Toronto Fire Services and Shelter, Support and Housing Administration (Emergency Human Services) have canvassed Members of Council to develop preestablished notification protocols for routine operations. Emergencies of greater magnitude do happen and require an emergency management response structure beyond Normal Daily operations. The response required and / or requested by City of Toronto Councillors must be appropriate to the magnitude of the incident as defined in the Emergency Levels classification. It is important for Councillors to understand and support the coordinated and timely management of information. Every effort should be made to maintain a streamlined information management process and avoid the passing of inaccurate, conflicting and / or misleading information to the Public, City Staff, and the Media. Table 3 outlines the scalable response based on the magnitude of the event or impending situation. The table outlines how Councillors will be notified during emergencies and their roles during the incident in its initial and subsequent stages.
