Under the Emergency Management Act:

• federal ministers are responsible for developing emergency management plans in relation to risks in their areas of accountability
In support of this responsibility, PS developed the Federal Emergency Response Plan (FERP) in consultation with other government departments. The FERP was Cabinet approved in December 2009, and updated in January 2011.

What is the FERP?
The federal government’s all‐hazards response plan
Designed to harmonize federal emergency response efforts with those of the provincial/territorial governments, NGOs, and the private sector
Applies to domestic emergencies, as well as international when domestic coordination support is required
National‐ and regional‐level components allow for effective horizontal and vertical harmonization of effort throughout the federal government
Provides an integrated, strategic‐level Government of Canada response
FERP Strategic ObjectivesUNCLASSIFIED

•Save lives
•Protect property and the environment
•Maintain law, order and national security
•Maintain public confidence

When is the FERP used?
• When a province or territory requests federal support to deal with an emergency
• When an emergency of such magnitude occurs that it impacts multiple jurisdictions and/or OGDs; therefore, coordination is required
• When an event directly involves federal assets, services, employees, statutory authority/responsibilities, or impacts confidence in government
• When aspects of the national interest are affected
National Interest: defence and maintenance of the social, political and economic stability of Canada

ESFs describe the structure through which Government of Canada capabilities are managed to meet emergency management objectives. They outline the roles and responsibilities that institutions may be required to execute during federal response operations.
A primary department is a federal government institution with a mandate most directly related to a key element of an emer‐gency. One or more federal government institutions may be designated as primary, depending on the nature and scope of the incident.
A supporting department is a federal government institution that provides generalized or specialized assistance to a primary department in response to an emergency.
