As you are aware, EMO undertook a full review of our organization over the past eighteen months in the interest of defining how we may best meet the needs of the residents of Ontario and our stakeholders. A key element of this review was an analysis of how we provide advice and assistance to the municipal sector in implementing and maintaining the regulated emergency management programs that are required under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act and the associated Ontario Regulation 380/04. This analysis was undertaken in consultation with a broad spectrum of stakeholders, which included the Association of Ontario Municipalities, as well as municipal emergency management and public safety officials. As a result of this review, EMO will be adding more s to our current staffing profile, and increasing the number of our sectors from twelve to fourteen. We have also added two Program Managers who will provide field program oversight. This restructuring, which will come into effect January 1, 2007, will reduce the number of communities serviced by individual s, and provide greater access to EMO s services for municipalities. Our field staff will also become part of a new EMO section, to be named Program Delivery, which in addition to working directly with communities, will in future assist in coordinating liaison between municipalities and other provincial ministries, First Nation communities, the private sector, and the federal government including the Department of National Defence.
I am attaching for your information a map that depicts the outline of our new sector structure. I am also enclosing a copy of our revised staffing list, which indicates the names and contact information for our field staff, as well as a listing of the municipalities that they will serve. You will note that all of our sectors have received new names and all but one, reflect new boundary alignments. As a result of this realignment, some communities will be served by new s so it is important that this information be shared with local emergency management officials and municipal first responders within your jurisdiction. EMO shares with its municipal partners, the vision of creating an Ontario of safe, secure, and disaster-resilient communities. We believe that this restructuring, together with the incremental staff that have been added will help us to achieve this objective. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting with many of you over the next few months to discuss how we may continue to move forward together. Sincerely, Original signed by Joy McLeod Joy McLeod Deputy Chief, Program Delivery Encls. c: W. Cotgreave, A/Chief,
