The Provincial Emergency Program (PEP) offers a schedule of sponsored emergency management training
courses throughout the province through its regional offices. As of April 1, 2009, the British Columbia Association of Emergency Managers (BCAEM) is sponsoring the emergency management training courses formerly sponsored by the PEP. The PEP will continue to provide for emergency management training courses by coordinating schedules, course locations, and registrations through our regional offices.
Training is provided to B.C. emergency managers and responders, including: municipal, provincial, and federal staff, First Nations and Public Safety Lifeline volunteers. The training is provided through the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC).
These one and two-day courses support participants’ understanding of important functional areas related to emergency
management in their jurisdiction. This training also aims to increase the understanding of roles and responsibilities of
government and non-government agencies in an escalating emergency situation.
Several introductory and pre-requisite courses are available on-line oriented to emergency management personnel,
first responders and public safety lifeline volunteers. These courses include: Introduction to Emergency Management in B.C.,
Introduction to Emergency Social Services, Emergency Operations Centre Level 1, Emergency Operation Centre Operational
Guidelines and Incident Command System 100 Level. To access these courses,
