Emergency Planning
National Advisory Group on Emergency Planning (NAGEP)
In November 2001, The Canadian Council of Churches (CCC) Governing Board heard a presentation by the Chaplain General to the Canadian Armed Forces, reflecting on events related to September 11 2001, the Swiss Air crash off Peggy's Cove and other recent disasters. The Governing Board passed a resolution asking the Commission on Faith and Witness (CFW) to consult with appropriate government offices to learn about existing pastoral care provisions within the mandates and protocols of the Emergency Measures Offices (EMOs). To this end, the CCC established in 2002 the National Advisory Group on Emergency Planning (NAGEP), now a standing committee of the CFW. Inquiries began with the Chaplain General's office, and conversations with Federal Government officials soon made it apparent that work would best be initiated with Provincial EMOs. A Regional Advisory Group on Emergency Planning (NS-AGEP) has been established in Nova Scotia and contact with other provinces is underway.
