AND 1330 ALTONA RD. 7-14 (111) OTHER BUSINESS {IV|, ADJOURNMENT REPORT TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE Report Number: CAO-06-02 Date: September 25, 2002 From: Thomas J. Quinn Chief Administrative Officer Subject: Bill 148 "Emergency Management Ac~' - File: IG 3018 Recommendation: That Council receive Report CAO-06-02 regarding Bill 148; That Council endorse the attached (Clarington) resolution requesting the Federal and Provincial Governments to provide special emergency management funding for all municipalities that host nuclear facilities; That this Report be circulated to the Ontario Minister of Public Safety and Security, the local Members of Parliament, the local Members of Provincial Parliament, the Region of Durham, all Durham area municipalities, and the Canadian Association of Nuclear Host Communities. Executive Summary: Subsequent to the events of September 11, 2001 the Government of Ontario has taken various steps to improve upon emergency preparedness and management for the Province. In December 2001, Bill 148 was introduced and received first reading by the Legislature. The Bill is intended to amend the Emergency Planning Act to formally mandate all Ontario municipalities with specific emergency preparedness requirements. The financial burden and extra challenges that communities who host nuclear facilities are significant. Funding assistance is required to help facilitate municipal emergency management programming. In response to Bill 148, the Municipality of Clarington passed a resolution requesting Federal and Provincial funding assistance and requesting the support from other nuclear host communities. Financial lmplications: Should Federal and Provincial funding assistance be received, this funding could be used to enhance the Pickering Community Emergency Management Program (see Attachment #1 for Program details). For example, funding could be used to offset costs that would be incurred to develop and conduct a comprehensive public education campaign, conduct a community hazard identification and analysis project, and to provide ongoing Staff and Council education and training sessions. Report CAO-06-02 Subject: Bill 148, Emergency Management Act Date: September 25, 2002 Page 2 Background: 1.0 Bill 148 On December 6, 2001 the Provincial Government tabled Bill 148 in the Legislature to amend the Emergency Planning Act and a copy of the Bill is available for viewing through this office. The Bill has only received first reading but is expected to receive second and third reading with Royal Assent by year-end. The Bill and other changes that are currently underway in the newly titled Public Safety and Security Ministry place greater emphasis on the process of managing major emergencies before, during, and after their occurrence. The following is a summary of the proposed changes to the Provincial legislation: Legislative name change to "Emergency Management Act" from "Emergency Planning Act", organizational name change to "Emergency Management Ontario" from "Emergency Measures Ontario", position title change to "Chief, Emergency Management Ontario" from "Director of Emergency Measures", Municipalities required to have an Emergency Management Program which must include:an emergency management bylaw and plans, education and training programs for staff and other persons involved with emergency management and response, a public education program, and a community hazard, risk, and infrastructure analysis program, 3. All emergency management plans and amendments must be submitted to the Chief, Emergency Management Ontario, = Lieutenant Governor in Council may temporarily suspend legislative provisions to expand abilities to manage an emergency (this provision is intended to facilitate the management of extreme provincial emergency events), Public Safety and Security Minister may make regulations and standards regarding emergency management and may formulate other emergency plans as required for special conditions in addition to nuclear planning, and if developed, adherence to the regulations and standards would be required and enforceable. A preliminary assessment of Pickering's compliance with the requirements of Bill 148 reveals that the City would meet all of the new demands as long as we continue with our proposed 2002/2003 Work Plan as outline in Attachment #1. Conducting a community hazard, risk, and infrastructure analysis program as required by the Bill, is the only item in the Work Plan that is new to the Pickering Program. Work has already begun to develop a project outline while staff awaits the release of a set of guidelines from Emergency Management Ontario that will aid in conducting the project. I') !'i 4 Report CAO-06-02 Subject: Bill 148, Emergency Management Act Date: September 25, 2002 Page 3 2.0 CLARINGTON RESOLUTION In June, the City of Pickering received a copy of a resolution endorsed by Clarington Council (see Attachment #2). The resolution requests funding from the Federal and Provincial Governments to offset the financial challenges that communities experience as a host municipality to a nuclear facility. Included in Clarington's correspondence was a request for support of their resolution. Assistance with funding the Pickering Community Emergency Management Program would enhance the City's ability to prepare Council, staff, and the public for major community emergencies, especially one that results from a nuclear cause. Ontario Power Generation currently provides annual funding that is used to partially cover the costs of employing a full-time Emergency Response Coordinator position. OPG has also assisted with numerous other emergency management ventures in the past. However, additional financing is still required to maintain an ongoing emergency management program of the calibre that is warranted by the presences of a nuclear facility. The 2002 / 2003 Work Plan includes targets for conducting Council, staff, and public education and training which federal and/or provincial funding could augment by covering some or all of the costs of conducting educational sessions.
