TOWN OF AURORA
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
PART 1: INTRODUCTION
Emergencies are defined as situations or impending situations caused by forces of nature,
a disease or other health risk, an accident or an intentional act that constitutes a danger
of major proportions to life and property. Emergencies affect public safety, including the
health, welfare and property of residents, businesses and visitors, as well as the
environment and economic health of the Town of Aurora.
The population of the Town of Aurora as of December 30, 2016 is 55, 445 residents.
In order to protect residents, businesses and visitors, the Town of Aurora requires a
coordinated emergency response by a number of agencies under the direction of the
Municipal Emergency Control Group (MECG). These are arrangements and procedures
that are distinct from the normal, day-to-day operations carried out by emergency
services.
The Town of Aurora Emergency Management Program Committee developed this
Emergency Response Plan (Plan). The Incident Management System (IMS) has been
adopted in this Plan to define the basic command structure and to identify roles and
responsibilities to ensure effective management of an emergency.
Every official, municipal department and agency must be prepared to carry out assigned
responsibilities in an emergency. The Plan has been prepared to provide key officials,
agencies and departments of the Town of Aurora with important emergency response
information related to:
Arrangements, services and equipment; and
Roles and responsibilities during an emergency.
In addition, it is important that residents, businesses and interested visitors be aware of
its provisions. Copies of the Town of Aurora Emergency Response Plan may be viewed
at the Town Hall, Library and on-line at www.aurora.ca. For more information, please

PART 2: AIM
The aim of this Plan is to make provision for the extraordinary arrangements and
measures that may have to be taken to protect the health, safety, welfare, environment
and economic health of the residents, businesses and visitors of the Town of Aurora when
faced with an emergency.
It enables a centralized, controlled and coordinated response to emergencies in the Town
of Aurora, and meets the legislated requirements of the Emergency Management and
Civil Protection Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.9, as amended.
Emergencies can occur within the town of Aurora. The Town uses a Hazard Identification
Risk Analysis methodology in conjunction with the Regional Municipality of York. Aurora’s
top emergency risks include:
1. Human caused emergencies involving information technology disruption from
cyber attacks
2. Natural caused emergencies from severe weather including torn ados, windstorms
and ice storms along with severe summer storm-flooding
3. Technological emergencies involving natural gas
4. Technological emergencies involving transportation of hazardous material via
railway and roads

PART 5: MUNICIPAL EMERGENCY CONTROL GROUP
Incident Management System
The direction and control structure for the Town of Aurora's emergency operations is
based upon the Incident Management System (IMS). IMS is an internationally recognized,
standardized emergency response system, which defines the basic command structure
and the roles and responsibilities required for the effective management of an
emergency.
IMS is endorsed by Emergency Management Ontario, and used by The Regional
Municipality of York's Emergency Management. Benefits of using the IMS include:
enhanced technical and functional interoperability; integrated communications; and
standard terminology.
IMS consists of five key functions:
1. Command (EOC Management)
2. Operations
3. Planning
4. Logistics
5. Finance/Administration
Figure 1: The 5 Key Functions of the Incident Management System
Figure 2, on the following page, provides a summary of how the Town of Aurora has
aligned its emergency operations for consistency with the IMS.
An Emergency Organization Chart, which illustrates Town of Aurora emergency
positions, follows Figure 2.
For greater certainty, wherever a position is identified in this Plan it shall also be

Municipal Emergency Control Group (MECG)
The emergency response will be directed and controlled by the Municipal Emergency
Control Group (MECG), a group of officials, as appointed by municipal council, who are
responsible for coordinating the provision of the essential services necessary to minimize
the effects of an emergency on the community. The MECG consists of the following
officials:

may include:

The MECG may function with only a limited number of persons depending upon the
emergency. While the MECG may not require the presence of all the people listed as
members of the control group, all members of the MECG must be notified.
Operating Cycle
Members of the MECG will gather at regular intervals to inform each other of actions
taken and problems encountered. The EOC Director will establish the frequency of
meetings and agenda items. Meetings will be kept as brief as possible thus allowing
members to carry out their individual responsibilities. The Town Clerk will maintain a
status board and maps, which will be prominently displayed and kept up to date.
Other Agencies
In an emergency, many agencies may be required to work with the MECG. Two (2) such
agencies are detailed below. Others might include Emergency Management Ontario,
Ontario Provincial Police, the Office of the Fire Marshal, industry, volunteer groups,
conservation authorities, and provincial ministries. Refer to the various emergency plans
from other agencies, which are located in the Community Emergency Management
Coordinator’s office.

Upon implementation of the Emergency Response Plan, it will be important to ensure
that communications are established between the emergency site and the EOC. Also,
communications may be required at various locations including evacuation centres,
hospitals, and other key responding agencies.
The Emergency Telecommunications Coordinator (ETC) is part of the initial Emergency
Notification Procedure. The ETC will call upon his/her contacts for further
communications support, as required.
The Emergency Telecommunications Office will be located in an area adjacent to the EOC.
It is equipped with portable hand radios, battery back-up, two-way radio with the
necessary channels to communicate with police, fire, EMS and the Ontario Fire Marshal.
Communications between the EOC and the other responding agencies will be with the
support of a runner. All messages are to be written on the approved forms and logged.
Should the Town of Aurora lose all telephone communications, pre-arranged
communications could be obtained through the local Amateur Radio Operators Network.
