The attached contact sheet has space for listing the name and phone numbers for the Emergency Management branch of your local authority. What is the role of Emergency Management Alberta (EMA)?
EMA—the coordinating agency for the Government of Alberta for all hazards—is responsible for safety and emergency preparedness in Alberta. It coordinates provincial emergency response for all types of emergencies, including upstream petroleum emergencies. In the event of an emergency, EMA coordinates and links the response of all levels of government, the private sector, and other interested parties. EMA provides support for local authorities through its district offices. EMA developed the Petroleum Incident Support Plan specifically to respond to upstream oil and gas emergencies. Its purpose is to direct and coordinate how the government and the oil and gas industry responds to a serious upstream emergency. The goal is to support the oil and gas operator and the local authority in protecting the public and to bring the incident safely under control. Under this plan the facility operator most likely initiates the emergency response, and the local authority is the lead in matters affect
