In the late 1990's, the Canadian Emergency Planners Association (CEPA) was created with the objective of regrouping Canadian professionals in this field. Soon after, the profession itself migrated from a planning perspective to a management focus giving the new designation of Emergency Managers.
At the same time, attempts at bringing together professionals from one coast to the other without the support of provincial or territorial organizations proved impossible and CEPA was eventually dismantled.
In Ontario a group of past CEPA members created the Ontario Association of Emergency Managers (OAEM). Working under a common provincial structure and complying with the same provincial legislation, the association grew from forty to four hundred in a matter of a few years.
OAEM worked diligently to provide useful services to its members, and to fulfill its mission of promoting, supporting and enhancing the profession of emergency management in Ontario.
Initially, the association was mainly composed of government officials from the municipal and provincial sectors. Over the years, this too has evolved and the membership now consists of a mix of:
Emergency managers from both public and private organizations
The membership belongs to the member jurisdiction or entity paying the dues. If the individual representing that jurisdiction or entity leaves, the membership may be transferred to another individual who manages the emergency management program. However, the individual representative may maintain the membership only if the paying jurisdiction provides written approval transferring the membership to the individual.
The International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM), which has more than 5,000 members worldwide, is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to promoting the "Principles of Emergency Management" and representing those professionals whose goals are saving lives and protecting property and the environment during emergencies and disasters.
Our Vision: IAEM shall be recognized as a premier international organization of emergency management professionals.
Our Mission: The mission of IAEM is to serve its members by providing information, networking and professional opportunities, and to advance the emergency management profession.
