Goodyear Emergency Management Consulting

🌎 October 13 is the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction!

We can't prevent every storm, flood, wildfire, or other emergency, but we can take steps to reduce their impacts on our communities.

Disaster risk reduction is about being proactive — understanding the hazards we face, identifying vulnerabilities, strengthening preparedness, and taking action before disaster strikes.

At GEM Consulting, we're proud to work with organizations and communities across Canada to develop practical, scalable, and sustainable disaster and emergency management programs.

Whether it's developing an emergency plan, completing a risk assessment, or conducting training and exercises, every step toward reducing risk helps build a more resilient future.

🍁 Building resilience starts long before an emergency occurs.

Emergency plans are only effective when people know how to use them.

Recently, GEM Consulting had the opportunity to work with staff at a long-established private club to put their new Emergency Management Plan into practice.

The training focused on the Club’s actual operations, facilities and priority hazards, with staff working through practical, scenario-based tabletop exercises involving medical emergencies, hazardous materials and severe weather.

The goal was simple: know the plan, know your role, know where to find the information you need, and be prepared to act.

Thank you to the Club’s team for their engagement, thoughtful questions and willingness to work through the scenarios.

Preparedness is not just about having a plan. It is about building the confidence and capability to use it when it matters.

Today, we recognize the people who show up when others need help most.

August 19 is World Humanitarian Day.

Across the world, humanitarian workers, volunteers and local responders help people through disasters, conflict and other crises.

Behind every emergency are people and families who need more than a response. They need safety. They need information. They need support. And they need to know that someone is there to help.

Today, we say thank you to the people who make that help possible.

Your work matters. Your courage matters. And your commitment to helping others matters.

People helping people — that is at the heart of humanitarian action.

Our government has activated Ontario Corps to support communities affected by wildfires in northwestern Ontario. Ontario 211 has increased frontline capacity to help respond to non-urgent wildfire-related inquiries. By calling 2-1-1, Ontarians can connect with trained navigators 24/7 in more than 150 languages to access information, programs and services.

Over the past 96 hours, wildland fire crews, pilots, emergency responders, emergency management professionals and Ontario Corps volunteers have worked tirelessly to help keep communities safe. We also thank our Ontario Corps partners; GlobalMedic, Feed Ontario and the Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres (OFIFC), for supporting reception centres and helping distribute food to evacuees.

If you have questions about wildfires, evacuations, community supports, or available resources, dial 2-1-1.

Our trained 211 navigators are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to connect you with trusted, up-to-date information and local services.
