Training
The Agency's training plan is intended for all AEMA Staff, Government of Alberta primary and alternate Consequence Management Officers, Ministry Business Continuity Officers/Managers and the Business Continuity Cross Government Coordination Team. In addition, federal government partners and non-Government Alberta organizations that normally attend the Government Emergency Operations Centre (GEOC) during activation will be invited to participate. Municipal and industry personnel wishing to attend training events may attend those that are relevant and appropriate to their roles and responsibilities. Check the Training Calendar for upcoming events and contact the Manager of Training at 1-780-427-8633 for further information.
