Emergency Response Assistance Canada (ERAC) develops emergency response plans (ERPs), including:
reviews and validates existing plans as part of an audit and gap analysis process.
We organize, facilitate and evaluate tabletop and on-site exercises, designed to test facility preparedness and regulatory compliance. ERAC’s team has extensive experience in emergency planning and dangerous goods response and decades of experience in writing ERPs.
ERAC can create site-specific plans for dangerous goods that are present on your work sites. These plans may include various emergency response actions and evacuation procedures.
ERAC can review your existing ERPs in an audit and gap analysis format, identify strengths, weaknesses and gaps in your plan, and make recommendations to improve your plan to “best in class.” These investments in continual improvement and training are rewarded with safe and successful emergency incident interventions for your facility employees, civic first responders and the public.
ERAC leverages advanced GIS technology to support emergency preparedness, response planning, and regulatory compliance. We develop detailed site maps, floor plans, evacuation routes, fire plans, and emergency planning zone (EPZ) displays to help Plan members prepare for and respond to emergencies. Using sophisticated modelling software, our E2 mapping meets and exceeds regulatory requirements by identifying and visualizing threat zones, public notification areas, and emergency planning zones for regulated substances. Combined with ERAC's integrated GIS applications and operational mapping tools, these resources enhance situational awareness, support emergency decision-making, and strengthen preparedness before, during, and after an incident.
