In Canada, there is currently a lack of comprehensive and formal doctrine 
and training to guide emergency management response. As a result, each 
jurisdiction has developed and/or adopted their own respective response 
models; and Emergency Management terms, tools, and practices are not 
standardized across Canada. Although the underlying concepts are similar, 
variations mean that there are inconsistent interpretations and 
applications based on local practices, available resources, and training.
