Presentation by Andrew Cooper, Manager, Regional Emergency Management

  • Received

Andrew Cooper, Manager, Regional Emergency Management; Grace Caron, Regional Emergency Operations Centre Commander; and Steve Saric, Demobilization and Recovery Task Force Leader, provided an overview of the Region of Peel’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and emergency management operations. It was noted that the Regional Emergency Operations Centre (REOC) operates under four key objectives to guide the response: to protect; to support; to coordinate and communicate; and to deliver services. In partnership with the REOC, the Demobilization and Recovery Task Force comprised of Regional leadership from across the organization was established.

The Task Force developed a Demobilization and Recovery Plan guided by three key principles: delivering valued services and community supports; creating safe environments and healthy workers; and redesigning for the new normal of regional operations. The Task Force has translated the recovery plan into phased approaches. The Region has completed the initial phase of recovery and is currently focusing on planning details and strategic decisions for the mid-term recovery phase.
