Executive summary

Capability Based Planning Pilot Project: A report on partnership opportunities and the sustainability of emergency response across non-federal levels

The Centre for Security Science Capability Based Planning Pilot Project represents a fundamental component in support of Canadian preparedness for response to terrorism and other hazards. The Pilot Project seeks not only to validate a variety of risk assessment tools that analyze intentional and unintentional risks to Canadians, but is also concerned with the question of how risk assessment results may be most effectively used to shape capability and capacity decision-making at non-federal levels. This Contract Report represents the findings of work performed in support of these objectives.

The Academic and Research Institute Database developed as part of this project will facilitate future research partnerships and engagement of Canadian academic resources toward development of a reusable framework for analyzing risk to Canadians. Work on the database has identified opportunities for research partnerships with Natural Resources Canada and Environment Canada in support of the Capability Based Planning Pilot Project. Given that the researcher community is continually changing and growing, the database represents a snapshot in time; to remain relevant the database will require periodic updates to remain accurate and current. Global findings of research conducted into the sustainability of emergency response across non-federal levels of government have identified:

that risk-based methods are now commonly used at the non-federal level for appropriating funding and aligning resources in support of emergency response;

there is considerable disparity in the efficacy and rigor of methodologies, analysis, and tools which impede the ability of municipalities to fully benefit from risk assessment as a capability and resource planning tool;

availability of adequate funding, including responsive and accountable financial processes, remains a significant impediment to the development of sustainable emergency response capabilities;

efforts toward collaborative public/private risk assessment, and/or partnerships in the area of critical infrastructure protection and emergency response, have had only mixed success due to confusion regarding roles, mandates, and authorities, fears about confidentiality of information, and regulatory constraints associated with public funding frameworks and mechanisms; and

programs such as the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements (DFAA) and the Joint Emergency Preparedness Program (JEPP), while recognized as worthwhile, have significant weaknesses for achieving national emergency preparedness and response objectives.

These global findings confirm the need for and utility of a reusable all-hazards framework for analyzing risk that is linked to capability and resource planning. The Capability Based Planning Pilot Project, the Canadian National Incident Management System (CNIMS), and the Natural Resources/Environment Canada initiative offer strategically important tools toward development of national emergency response capabilities, multi-level decision-making, and sustainable funding for non-federal levels of government. Potential Future Research Initiatives:

Research and identify municipal expenditures on all-hazard emergency services and response activities in order to establish the trend in costs, baseline funding requirements, and methods to differentiate between routine and incremental expenditures at non-federal levels of government;

Monitor and assess the implications of the Treasury Board approval process for renewal of the JEPP program terms and conditions, which is scheduled to commence post-March 31, 2009;

Research and identify the process linkages between Capability Based Planning, CNIMS, and all-hazard risk assessment models that will enable non-federal level resource and capability management; and

Research and identify specific insights public management, performance measurement and accountability literature offer for development and implementation of a multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency, all-hazard risk assessment framework.

Sommaire .....

Projet pilote de planification axée sur les capacités : Rapport sur les possibilités de partenariat et la viabilité des interventions d’urgence aux échelons non fédéraux

Le Projet pilote de planification axée sur les capacités du Centre des sciences pour la sécurité constitue un élément essentiel pour assurer la préparation du Canada à une intervention en cas d’acte terroriste ou d’autre situation de menace. Le projet pilote vise non seulement à valider divers outils d’évaluation des risques permettant d’analyser les menaces intentionnelles et les menaces non intentionnelles auxquelles sont exposés les Canadiens et Canadiennes, mais aussi à examiner la façon la plus efficace d’utiliser les résultats des évaluations des risques afin de développer des capacités et la prise de décision connexe aux échelons non fédéraux. Le rapport de contrat porte sur les conclusions d’un travail effectué à l’appui de ces objectifs.

La base de données sur les établissements universitaires et de recherche mise sur pied dans le cadre de ce projet facilitera les partenariats futurs en matière de recherche ainsi que la participation des universitaires canadiennes à l’élaboration d’un cadre réutilisable pour l’analyse des risques auxquels sont exposés les Canadiens et Canadiennes. Le travail sur la base de données a permis de déterminer des possibilités de partenariats de recherche avec Ressources naturelles Canada et Environnement Canada à l’appui du Projet pilote de planification axée sur les capacités. Compte tenu du fait que la communauté des chercheurs change et croit continuellement, la base de données constitue un instantané d’une situation à un moment donné. Elle doit donc être mise à jour continuellement pour rester complète et utile. Les conclusions globales de la recherche menée sur la viabilité des interventions d’urgence aux échelons non fédéraux montrent que :

les méthodes axées sur les risques sont maintenant utilisées aux échelons non fédéraux pour l’attribution de fonds et l’ajustement des ressources à l’appui des opérations d’intervention d’urgence;

il y a une grande disparité au niveau de l’efficacité et de la rigueur des méthodologies, de l’analyse et des outils, ce qui nuit à la capacité des municipalités de bénéficier pleinement de l’évaluation des risques en tant qu’outil de planification des capacités et des ressources;

le manque de financement approprié, y compris des processus financiers souples et comprenant une reddition de comptes, demeure un important obstacle au développement de capacités viables d’intervention d’urgence;

les activités visant la collaboration publique/privée pour l’évaluation des risques, et/ou les partenariats dans le domaine de la protection des infrastructures essentielles et l’intervention d’urgence n’ont eu que des succès mitigés à cause de la confusion en ce qui concerne les rôles, les mandats, les pouvoirs, les craintes

concernant la confidentialité de l’information ainsi que les contraintes de réglementation connexes aux cadres et mécanismes de financement public;

des programmes tels que les Accords d’aide financière en cas de catastrophe (AAFCC) et le Programme conjoint de planification d’urgence (PCPU), bien que reconnus comme étant utiles, ont d’importantes faiblesses en ce qui concerne la réalisation des objectifs de préparation aux situations d’urgence et l’organisation des secours à l’échelle nationale.

Ces conclusions globales confirment le besoin et l’utilité d’un cadre tous risques réutilisable pour l’analyse des risques liés à la planification des capacités et des ressources. L’initiative du Projet pilote de planification axée sur les capacités, du Système national de gestion des incidents (SNGI) du Canada et de Ressources naturelles et Environnement Canada offre des outils stratégiques importants pour le développement de capacités d’intervention d’urgence à l’échelle nationale, la prise de décisions à plusieurs niveaux et un financement durable pour les administrations non fédérales. Futurs projets de recherches envisageables :

Effectuer des recherches et déterminer les dépenses municipales pour les services d’urgences tous risques et les activités d’intervention d’urgence afin d’établir les tendances en matière de coûts, de besoins en financement de base et de méthodes pour faire la différence entre les dépenses courantes et les dépenses supplémentaires aux échelons non fédéraux;

Observer et évaluer les répercussions du processus d’approbation du Conseil du Trésor pour le renouvellement des conditions du PCPU, dont le début est prévu après le 31 mars 2009;

Effectuer des recherches et déterminer les liens entre les processus pour la Planification axée sur les capacités, le SNGI du Canada et le les modèles d’évaluations des risques qui permettront la gestion des capacités et des ressources aux échelons non fédéraux;

Effectuer des recherches et déterminer ce que prévoient les documents portant sur la gestion publique, la mesure du rendement et la reddition des comptes en ce qui concerne le développement et la mise en œuvre d’un cadre d’évaluation plurigouvernemental, pluriorganisationnel et tous risques.

1 Introduction

1.1 Background Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC), Centre for Security Science (CSS) is engaged in several initiatives toward the development of an all-hazards risk assessment model and tools that will contribute to Canadian preparedness for response to terrorism and other hazards. The Capability Based Planning Pilot Project, lead by the CSS Forensics Portfolio Manager, is one such initiative which seeks to validate a variety of risk assessment tools – specifically the connectivity between tools that analyze intentional and unintentional risks to Canadians stemming from all-hazards, including Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives (CBRNE) threats, industrial, accidental and natural hazards. Other aspects of the Pilot Project will examine how risk assessment results may be most effectively used to shape capability and capacity decision-making across the emergency response spectrum, responder communities, and for policy and program development at non-federal levels. A main deliverable from the Pilot Project will be the development and validation of a Canadian National Incident Management System (CNIMS). Based on best practices and consistent with the U.S. Homeland Security version of NIMS, the tool(s) developed by the Pilot Project will represent the first phase in an iterative process toward an integrated and sustainable all-hazard risk assessment and management process.

1.2 Aim The aim of this Contract Report is to document the global findings of research work conducted in support of the Capability Based Planning Pilot Project. The report addresses two specific areas of focus: Development of an initial database of Canadian academic research institutes, academics, and consultants that share a common interest and expertise in analyzing risk to Canadians from all-hazards, including CBRNE threats; and, provides insights relating to the sustainability of emergency response across non-federal levels of government.

The format of Tables 1 and 2 include the following information categories: Academic Research Institute; Research Objectives; Current Research Projects; Primary Point(s) of Contact; Contact Information; and, Website. Tables 3 and 4 contain more detailed information categories: University; Specialist Research area Checklist that includes Biological, Chemical, Explosives, Forensics, Radiation/Nuclear, Security Intelligence, Environment and Health, Transportation and Logistics, Critical Infrastructure, Public Policy and Governance, Public Economy, Psycho-Social, Risk Communications, Decision-Analysis and Modelling; Risk Assessment Expertise (a detailed description); Contact Information; Website.


3 Summary of Database

The database has been developed to identify Canadian academic and research institutes that share a common interest and expertise in analyzing risk to Canadians from all-hazards, including CBRNE threats. The immediate objective is to facilitate future research partnerships and engagement of Canadian academic resources toward development of a reusable framework for analyzing risk to Canadians. To date, the database has assisted with the identification of several Academic Centres of Excellence with a depth of expertise and research activities that complement DRDC CSS program initiatives. Most notably, the database project has lead to and facilitated a potential research partnership with Natural Resources Canada and Environment Canada in support of CSS program objectives, as well as the Capability Based Planning Pilot Project.


4 Conclusion

The Academic and Research Institute Database has been developed as a source of information to facilitate engagement of academic institutes, individual academic researchers, and/or those with specialized expertise, in analyzing risk to Canadians from all-hazards, including CBRNE threats. This community of researchers is continually growing; as such the database represents a work in progress that will require periodic updates to remain accurate and current.


5 Non-Federal Level Sustainability Issues

This section delineates the global findings of research work conducted in support of the Capability Based Planning Pilot Project specific to issues of sustainable emergency response across non-federal levels of government. The scope of work focused on identifying shortcomings and gaps in existing policy and programs, giving particular consideration to the following:

A) whether or not organizations responsible for emergency response periodically align resourcing requirements using a risk-based method;

B) whether or not non-federal levels of government use a risk-based method for appropriating funding in support of response organizations, including identification of the primary source of funding for non-federal levels of government;

C) whether or not non-federal response capabilities and organizations involve the private sector in the risk assessment process, have mechanisms in place that allow for public/private emergency response funding partnerships, and/or have mechanisms in place to accept general public contributions in support of emergency response;

D) whether or not non-federal levels of government make use of funding through the Public Safety – Joint Emergency Preparedness Program (JEPP), including observations about the program, best practices, if any, and barriers which may exist to making this program more dependable for increasing preparedness across all hazards

Relevant information and key issues identified by this study result from the review and assessment of selected publications, reports, policies, procedural manuals, and survey materials, as well as from targeted discussions with emergency responders, planners and a number of subject matter experts, including both practitioners and academics. Quantitative and qualitative findings are based upon an examination and analysis of primary data collected between 13 April and 15 May 2007, as part of an Emergency Management Survey conducted by the Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence Emergency Preparedness in Canada (2008). Of 100 communities surveyed across ten Canadian provinces, 92 responses were received. The data and observations drawn from the questionnaire for use in this report reflect the views of first responders and emergency management officials in Canadian municipalities with populations ranging from 20,000 people to those with over 500,000. Relevant information and data is also presented from the Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence Report National Emergencies: Canada’s Fragile Front Lines (2004); reports


commissioned by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (GCSI 2004; National Security Group 2006); as well as data obtained from the federal, and provincial Financial Public Accounts, and from Municipal Budget documentation.

5.1 Global Findings Emergency Management Organizations (EMO) are now an integral component at the municipal level of government; results indicate that 98% of 92 communities surveyed have an active EMO. The ability to identify hazards and analyze the implications for a given community is commonly recognized as important; 95% of 92 communities who responded to the survey indicated they conduct regular risk assessments, and of these 43% did so annually, with another 35% conducting such assessments every 2 to 5 years. While the vast majority (71%) base such assessments on the provincial standardized process of relevance to them, the comments provided by respondents indicate that, in reality, a wide variety of methods and prioritization processes are being applied, including best practices. Of particular interest are the comments that indicate that provincial standardized processes were most often used as a guideline, which is subsequently modified to reflect local realities. As part of this study, an informal review was conducted of the risk assessment tools available to communities through provincial EMOs; the review has confirmed that there are a wide range of assessment processes available to municipalities, some however, are more sophisticated and/or user friendly than others. When conducting risk assessments, communities do so using a collaborative approach, with 52% actively including Police, Fire, Paramedic, Public Health, Local EMO and Municipal Government representatives in the process. While 60% of respondents indicated that industry was also consulted, the comments made by Emergency Managers indicate varied results and levels of satisfaction with the openness and the willingness of the private sector to share information and/or resources. Levels of satisfaction were also mixed when communities consulted with provincial and federal representatives. While the province was most often consulted with 60% of respondents seeking their support, only 14% sought to involve the federal level. There are significant challenges and issues associated with emergency management funding. While available funding mechanisms will be discussed in greater detail later in this section, a few key points will be presented here. For instance, 98% of the survey respondents identified that the primary source for emergency management funding came from their municipality. The survey also confirmed that 64% of communities surveyed use the risk assessment process as a means to obtain funding. However, comments offered by the respondents, as well as observations in almost all the literature reviewed, acknowledge that the potential of risk assessment for fiscal planning and decision-making has not been fully realized given that there is still great disparity in the methodologies, analysis, and the tools that are used across municipalities and levels of government.


Sustainability of emergency planning, preparedness and response capability across non-federal levels is not only affected by available funding, but is also significantly impacted by insufficient human resources or workers with the requisite skills and training; a circumstance which is expected to worsen with the demographic pressures of an aging workforce. These are chronic gaps that have been reflected throughout the literature that has been reviewed in support of this study, both historic and current. Given the importance that funding and human resources capacity represent for sustainability, it would be useful to conduct a detailed examination of these areas of weakness; for instance there is currently a lack of coherent information specific to municipal expenditures on emergency services and response activities in relation to the available municipal tax base. While the study undertaken by Casey Ploeg for the Canada West Foundation in 2004 focused in part on such issues, only selected Western cities in Canada were examined. More broadly based research would provide useful insights and analyses for understanding the current dynamic for sustainable funding of emergency services at the municipal level. While terrorism was confirmed to be of concern to 61% of the municipalities surveyed, natural hazards, such as extreme weather events, and risks associated with hazardous materials, were considered to be the greater threat to communities. This is a perspective that is consistently reflected in the historical EMO literature, as well as in reports commissioned by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (GCSI 2004; National Security Group 2006). Only 36% of the communities surveyed had counter-terrorism response plans. There are several observations of note here: first, respondents identified confusion regarding mandates, responsibilities and roles between the various levels of government with regard to counter-terrorism; second, depending upon the community, it would be very difficult for Emergency Managers to make a business case for finite municipal resources unless a clear risk could be established; third, notwithstanding the impact of terrorist events such as 9/11, federal/provincial funding mechanisms currently only provide ‘seed’ money toward capability development, including capabilities associated with CBRNE and Heavy Urban Search and Rescue (H/USAR). Notwithstanding, it is interesting to note that 47% of respondent communities indicated they had some capacity to manage CBRNE incidents. H/USAR remains limited with only 13% of respondent communities indicating they have some measure of this capability. Where this capability does exist, 67% indicated they have agreements in place for its use in support of regional emergencies. When asked which level of government should have responsibility for funding their H/USAR capabilities, 36% of respondents indicated all three levels of government should share the cost, 26% felt it was solely a federal responsibility, 20% believed the province should pay, and only 1% thought it should be the sole responsibility of the municipality.


5.2 Funding Mechanisms - General In addition to the municipal tax base, two primary funding mechanisms exist in support of emergency management at non-federal levels: the first is the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements (DFAA); the second is the Public Safety – Joint Emergency Preparedness Program (JEPP). Relevant highlights from each funding program will be discussed below, including when applicable, any shortcomings or gaps that have been identified for the sustainability of emergency response capability across non-federal levels. The awareness of emergency management funding programs across municipalities is high; 95% of Emergency Managers surveyed by the Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence (2008) confirmed their knowledge of provincially administered funding programs such as the DFAA, and 74% indicated they knew of the federally managed JEPP program. Details of these programs, including the application process, are posted on virtually all provincial and territorial EMO websites. Applications for funding through such programs has also been high: 72% of communities surveyed have sought funding from provincial sources, particularly for training, the purchase of emergency response equipment, and CBRNE-specific capabilities; 84% have sought funding support from the federal level through the JEPP program. However, the level of satisfaction with these programs is extremely low. For instance, survey results for funding programs at the provincial level show that only 20% of respondent communities were satisfied with the program, 35% were somewhat satisfied, and 33% were not satisfied. The responses for the JEPP program are similar, with 22% indicating their satisfaction with the program, 38% were somewhat satisfied, and 21% were not satisfied. A few of the many comments that speak to the reasons behind this dissatisfaction include:

the disparity between emergency management responsibilities versus the available funding and resources to actually achieve the required levels of service;

the one-time nature of JEPP capital funding that does not provide for operating, maintenance or life-cycle costs;

no base-line funding for ongoing processes;

the focus of funding on individual projects rather than approaches that encourage regional solutions;

application and project timelines that are too stringent;

federal and municipal budgetary processes and fiscal year-ends that are misaligned, e.g. municipalities work on a calendar year cycle which makes prosecuting and completing a project within the federal fiscal-year difficult,


particularly when spending can not begin until the project is approved and funding authorized;

the lack of funding for preparedness projects such as public education, or to

establish emergency stockpiles;

the requirement for more flexible funding and project eligibility criteria, including a reduction on time restrictions between applications for such activities as plan writing and hazard, risk, and vulnerability analysis; and,

the need for eligibility criteria to better reflect community needs.

5.3 Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements Emergency related Financial Assistance Programs have existed in Canada since April 1952; they were initially established to assist provinces and territories with the development of civil defence plans, and to reimburse the financial costs of associated services. While political and financial support for Emergency Measures and the Financial Assistance Program has seen considerable volatility over the years, it was nevertheless recognized that costs associated with disasters were unpredictable and that such costs could easily overwhelm a province’s ability to cope. As such, in 1970, the federal government established a clearly defined administrative framework, known as the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements; the new program replaced the Financial Assistance Program as the means by which provinces and territories would defray the cost of disasters. Initially the program was also intended as a means of financing projects in support of national emergency response capabilities, but this function was eventually taken over by the JEPP program in 1980 (McConnell 2002). Payments made under the DFAA have tended to vary greatly; with more recent expenditures ranging from about $7.5 million in 1990-91 to over $144 million in 1996-97, with the total amount spent in 2007-08 being just over $76 million (McConnell 2002; Public Accounts of Canada, Transfer Payments, 2008). Of note for non-federal levels of government and responder communities are the changes to funding eligibility found in the newly revised DFAA Guidelines which came into effect in January 2008. This program will now only fund costs associated with natural disasters; this represents a considerable narrowing of the scope of the program from the previous Guidelines which had not differentiated between natural or other emergencies. Similarly, limitations have also been placed on what will be deemed to be eligible expenses. Specifically, it is stated that:

The DFAA are intended to address natural disasters resulting in extensive property damage or disruption of the delivery of essential goods and services. They do not apply to:

disasters whose effects are limited to a single economic production sector;


chronic or pandemic health emergencies, including recurring or new public health threats;

public order, civil disorder, criminal and terrorist acts, or international armed conflict;

the fighting of forest, prairie, grass or wild fires, except where they pose a threat to built-up areas, and then primarily for pre-emptive actions, evacuation and damaged infrastructure restoration (Public Safety Canada DFAA Revised Guidelines 2008, Section 1.4).

While the emphasis of the DFAA under the revised Guidelines is on natural disasters, provisions do still exist for financial assistance to provinces when other emergencies are declared, but these must be deemed an emergency of concern to the Government of Canada in order to be eligible for federal funding. The final authority for determination that an emergency event is eligible for financial assistance rests with the Governor in Council and the Minister under the terms of the Emergency Management Act (Public Safety Canada DFAA Revised Guidelines 2008, Section 1.6). At the moment, there is no indication that this new approach will impact the JEPP program, which continues to apply an all-hazards emergency focus in its effort to develop the national emergency response and recovery capability. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile to ask what the changes to the DFAA funding eligibility may signal, and similarly what implications there may be for non-federal emergency management, particularly given that primary responsibility for disaster response and associated expenses constitutionally rest with the provinces. Other revisions of note in the new DFAA Guidelines are the emphasis and importance given to pre-emptive action, as well as the value of actions or solutions that mitigate risks associated with recurring events (Public Safety Canada DFAA Revised Guidelines 2008 Sections 3.2.1. and 3.2.2, 3.3.1, 3.3.2, and 3.4). Where non-federal levels of government fail to identify and mitigate potential risks from natural hazards, and expenses are consequently incurred as a result, such costs may be ineligible for funding under the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements (Public Safety Canada DFAA Revised Guidelines 2008, Section 3.6). Also of increasing importance for funding eligibility under the DFAA will be the ability of non-federal levels to differentiate between incremental costs, capabilities, and services, related to a disaster from those which are deemed normal operating expenses and incident management functions (Public Safety Canada DFAA Revised Guidelines 2008, Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.3). In addition, non-federal levels will be required to breakout the incremental costs associated with intra-governmental expenses incurred during an emergency when capabilities are ‘shared’ between departments and agencies (Public Safety Canada DFAA Revised Guidelines 2008, Sections 4.5.7). The recent survey conducted by the Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence (2008) found that out of 92 communities that responded, 79% confirmed that agreements between communities to provide mutual assistance in the event of a disaster was considered a necessity; 80% of the municipalities also indicated they already had such agreements in place. Being able


to identify and quantify incremental costs associated with such a network of capabilities and capacities will become increasingly important for defining eligible disaster funding. Given the focus that the DFAA Revised Guidelines place upon natural hazards, the current CSS initiative to partner with Natural Resources Canada and Environment Canada is both timely and meaningful. The proposed project which seeks to develop natural hazard risk assessment methods, once operationalized, would offer a means to: quantify the relative risks (economic, physical, social) posed to Canada by those hazards; would evaluate how the identified risks can best be mitigated; and, would ensure results are used to inform policy and guide investments (by government, public and private sectors) in risk reduction (Lowe/Simonds 2008). The anticipated outputs would provide the necessary tools for more effective management of natural hazards at both the federal and non-federal levels, and would also provide the necessary information to substantiate federal emergency funding.

5.4 Joint Emergency Planning Program First established in October 1980 as a new initiative, the objective of JEPP is to develop and/or enhance the national emergency response capability through jointly-funded federal provincial projects. Federal-provincial funding contributions are determined through a negotiation process that considers factors such as project alignment and contribution to national priorities, provincial requirements, other competing projects, and available funding. The proportion of federal funding allocated toward total project costs range from 50% to 75%. Annual funding allocations have varied from an average allocation in the 1980’s and early 1990’s of $6 to $6.5 million, to a low of $4.5 million in 1997-98; 2008 funding levels have once again rebounded, with contributions of over $7.8 million being distributed to provinces pursuant to the Emergency Preparedness Act (McConnell 2002; Public Accounts of Canada, Transfer Payments, 2008). The program has undergone several changes over the years to address procedural, administrative, auditing and accountability concerns. For instance in 1994-95, block funding arrangements were introduced that were intended to earmark funds for the use of each province or territory based on a formula of $150,000 plus $0.10 per head of population (McConnell 2002). This new approach replaced the previous ‘first-come first-serve’ process that had prevailed up to that point. Currently, earmarked funds are held by the federal government for use against approved projects within the relevant provincial jurisdiction, and represent 75% of the JEPP budgetary portfolio. Proposals submitted by provinces and territories are first considered for funding against these earmarked funds up to the maximum allowable, after which proposals are considered against ‘regular’ funds that may be available in the annual JEPP budget portfolio; project approval processes for regular funds are merit-based and competed nationally. Within the budgetary limitations set by Cabinet in any given fiscal year, the annual maximum any one province or territory may receive is $4 million; the annual maximum funding ceiling for any one project is $3 million. JEPP monies have typically been “distributed among over 430 projects


annually with an average federal contribution of $10K per project” (Public Safety, JEPP Manual, n.p.). The principle upon which JEPP funding rests is that it is only intended as ‘seed’ money to assist provinces and territories to get started on required projects, rather than as a vehicle for long-term or life-cycle requirements. Yet, despite the alleged ‘proactive’ nature of the program, JEPP funding, like that of the DFAA program, only provide monies to the provinces or territories in the form of reimbursement for eligible expenses already incurred against an approved project. Provinces are required to provide proof of paid invoices and confirmation that projects have been completed before eligible federal funding becomes payable; a process that, throughout the literature reviewed, has been criticized by non-federal levels as being slow and unresponsive. What the JEPP program, gives little recognition to, is the reality that non-federal levels do not necessarily have readily available or sustainable funding sources for development of emergency response capability. The challenges faced at the municipal level for funding in support of routine emergency preparedness, equipment, and personnel, is confirmed throughout the literature reviewed, such as municipal budgetary information, reports commissioned by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (GCSI 2004; National Security Group 2006), the Canada West Report (Ploeg, 2004), and examinations of provincial-municipal expenditures undertaken by Enid Slack (2007) of the Institute on Municipal Finance and Governance. A further complication for non-federal levels which seek JEPP assistance is that such funding is allocated annually by Parliament with no guarantee of what funding levels will be from year-to-year. The consequence is that JEPP projects, even if they are expected to be multi-year initiatives, may only seek approval for current fiscal year funding; multi-year projects are required to re-submit each year without assurance that the project once reviewed will continue to be funded. Such uncertain funding represents a significant gap for strategic planning and initiatives to develop national emergency response capabilities. Non-federal levels also face funding challenges with regard to protection of critical infrastructure, of which 80% is privately owned. JEPP for instance, does not permit payments to businesses, nor can JEPP funds be used in such a manner that a business would profit and/or increase in value as a result of such expenditures. It is currently not clear how non-federal levels can or should address the question of protecting privately held critical infrastructure, or how to ensure businesses comply with national emergency planning objectives. But there are other challenges as well. For instance, while 84% of Emergency Managers who responded to the recent survey by the Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence (2008) indicated that local critical infrastructure had been identified, only 58% had a plan in place of how to protect it. In addition, significant confusion exists with regard to whether or not federal and provincial critical infrastructure may exist within a municipality’s boundary, including who has responsibility for its protection.


There have been several evaluations provided of the JEPP program since its inception; these include the work of such authors as David McConnell (2002), the independent program evaluation of JEPP conducted in 20031 for Public Safety Canada, and the reports of the Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence in 2004 and 2008. While the general consensus of these various reports acknowledges that JEPP offers a unique and worthwhile program toward achieving national emergency preparedness and response objectives, there are nevertheless significant weaknesses that are identified. The main issues that have been raised include: questions about the relevance of JEPP; the lack of clarity about the program, its terms, conditions, application and approval processes; the appropriateness of the program criteria, priorities, and outcome expectations in relation to the parameters and levels of available funding; and, its role, responsibilities, accountabilities and general responsiveness to the communities it is intended to support. The independent program evaluation conducted of JEPP in 2003, was to be followed by periodic evaluations every five years. The evaluation that was anticipated to take place in 2008 has not as yet been completed and/or released. Such evaluations are required to comply with Treasury Board policy on Program Evaluation (April 2001), and must specifically address questions pertaining to program relevance, success and cost-effectiveness. It is worth noting that the current JEPP program will only be in effect until March 31, 2009; an evaluation of the effectiveness of the program is required as part of the Treasury Board approval process for renewal of the program’s terms and conditions. It is recommended that both the program evaluation process and the Treasury Board renewal process be monitored over the coming months for their findings and the implications for non-federal levels.

5.5 Business Planning Cycles and Preparedness Standards As discussed above, the primary funding mechanisms available to non-federal levels of government in support of emergency management are: the municipal tax base; the DFAA; and, the jointly-funded federal provincial JEPP program. Several factors can influence the success of the business planning cycle associated with emergency planning, preparedness and response capabilities, including: whether the principles of emergency management are adhered to2; the efficacy of the processes used to identify, assess, and manage risk from all-hazards relevant to the community; and, application of standards and best practices in support of effective emergency management and business continuity planning.

1 Only excerpts of this report have been made available by Public Safety Canada; efforts to

obtain a full copy of the report continue. 2 The principles endorsed by the International Association of Emergency Managers, state that

emergency management must be: comprehensive, progressive, risk-driven, integrated, collaborative, coordinated, flexible, and professional (2007, 4).


Until recently, the National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 1600 Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs, an American-focused publication, has been a primary reference for those with Emergency Management responsibilities. In August 2008, the Canadian Standards Association published the Canadian version of this document, the CSA Z1600-08 Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs. Related documents such as the CSA 731-03 Emergency Preparedness and Response, CSA Z763 (R2006) Introduction to Environmental Risk Assessment Studies, and CSA Q850-97 (R2007) Risk Management Guideline for Decision Makers, will eventually be incorporated and/or closely aligned with the CSA Z1600-08. What is worthwhile to note is the high level of collaboration that has facilitated the development and application of such documents. Collaboration across and between Canadian stakeholders has included federal and provincial government agencies, emergency management organizations, first responder groups, and industry, with funding being provided by Public Safety Canada. Cross-border and international liaison has also taken place with such groups as the American Homeland Security Standards Panel, the NFPA 1600 Technical Committee, the ISO Advisory Group on Security, and the ISO TC 223 on Societal Security. Such Standards, which seek to harmonize public and private sector approaches to emergency management and business continuity programs and processes, represent the benchmark against which existing programs should ideally be assessed. The Standards have been specifically developed to support Public Safety Canada, provincial and municipal emergency management organizations, and other organizations in Canada already using the NFPA 1600 (Shanahan 2008). The recent changes to the focus of DFAA funding, and the as yet unknown outcome of the Treasury Board review of JEPP funding mechanisms and processes will, without doubt, impact strategic emergency preparedness, business planning cycles, and resource management at non-federal levels. Clarity on what changes, if any, will be made to JEPP will be an important component toward establishing a feasible way ahead for business planning at non-federal levels of government, particularly if the misalignment between federal and municipal budgetary processes and fiscal year-end are not addressed. Given that considerable progress has been made toward commonly accepted emergency management principles, standards and processes, including business continuity planning, the pivotal component for effective resource and capability management rests with the efficacy of risk assessment methodologies, tools and processes that are available to non-federal levels of government. As CSS Capability Based Planning, CNIMS, and all-hazard risk assessment models are refined, it is recommended that concurrent research be conducted to identify the specific practical linkages and opportunities these processes offer for resource and capability management that leverage available funding mechanisms.


6 Conclusions

The application of risk-based methods is now commonly used at the non-federal level for appropriating funding and aligning resources in support of emergency response. However, as is readily acknowledged by the Emergency Management community, disparity in the efficacy and rigor of methodologies, analysis, and tools have impeded the ability of municipalities to fully benefit from risk assessment as a capability and resource planning tool. Similarly, efforts toward collaborative public/private risk assessment, and/or partnerships in the area of critical infrastructure protection and emergency response, have had mixed success. The challenges primarily stem from confusion regarding roles, mandates, and authorities; fears about confidentiality of information; and, regulatory constraints associated with public funding frameworks and mechanisms. Availability of adequate funding, including responsive and accountable financial processes, remains a significant impediment to the development of sustainable local, provincial and national level emergency response capabilities. While programs such as the DFAA and JEPP are recognized as worthwhile and are widely used, the level of satisfaction has been extremely low. In the case of JEPP, independent evaluations and user feedback have identified significant weaknesses and concerns about how effective such a program actually is toward achieving national emergency preparedness and response objectives. What these global findings confirm is the need for and utility of, a reusable all-hazards framework for analyzing risk that is linked to capability and resource planning. CSS initiatives offer strategically important tools toward development of national emergency response capabilities, multi-level decision-making, and sustainable funding for non-federal levels of government. Specifically, the Capability Based Planning Pilot Project, CNIMS, and the Natural Resources/Environment Canada initiative will address current gaps in the ability of non-federal levels to meet their legislated responsibilities and chronic funding challenges by: providing connectivity between tools that analyze intentional and unintentional risks to Canadians from all-hazards, including CBRNE threats, natural, industrial, and accidental hazards; by identifying capability and capacity requirements across the risk spectrum; and, by providing a standardized means to differentiate between routine and incremental costs associated with incident management. Such tools will provide essential and tangible means by which non-federal levels of government can substantiate their funding requirements at the municipal level, as well as for DFAA and JEPP resources. In addition, the rigor that such tools offer will ensure that federal requirements under the Results-based Management and Accountability Framework, and the Risk-based Audit Framework, can be met.


7 Recommendations The CSS/Natural Resources/Environment Canada partnership offers a comprehensive and potentially unifying risk assessment approach across non-federal levels of government that should continue to be pursued. In light of the findings in this report, the value of the proposed assessment models and tools to non-federal levels include:

flexible and adaptable assessment tools that can meet user needs; standards-based; open source; scalable (i.e. operate at national, regional or local scales); modular (provide capacity to consider additional hazards); customizable (provide for user-defined hazard specifications); compatible with methodologies in use by other government

departments/jurisdictions; well-documented operational guidelines; accountability mechanisms; and, offer senior decision-makers the information and means to link capability

requirements, to resource planning and funding processes, in support of multi-level government strategic planning (Lowe/Simonds 2008).

Notwithstanding the promise that such initiatives represent, a word of caution is in order. A growing body of public management, performance measurement and accountability literature now indicates that the efficacy and success of public sector programs is critically impacted by whether such programs pay sufficient attention to influencing factors such as: the social and political context within which such programs are developed and effected; whether public managers are actively engaged; and whether consideration is given to how linkages can be forged between strategic planning processes, operational implementation, information-seeking, the assessment and management processes, and the challenges of public accountability. This is particularly important when such programs are multi-jurisdictional and multi-agency in nature; policies, programs and values may differ considerably, such that in practice it becomes difficult to align goals, or identify commonly acceptable assessment indicators or data across stakeholder decision-makers. It is recommended that CSS explore the insights this body of literature offers for the development and successful implementation of an all-hazard risk assessment model and tools. There is currently a lack of coherent, aggregate, and detailed information specific to municipal expenditures on all-hazard emergency services and response activities in relation to the available municipal tax base, and other funding sources. Similarly, there is a lack of clarity about what aspects of first responder capabilities are conducted as routine functions and what aspects constitute expenditures, incremental or otherwise, that should be captured against municipal all-hazard emergency response capabilities. For instance,


in 2005 police and fire services represented 17% of the total expenditures of local general government under Protection of Persons and Property (Slack, 2007); but, it is not readily apparent how much of that can be defined as expenditures, incremental or otherwise, in direct support of all-hazard emergency response. Such data will become increasingly important in order to establish and understand funding trends, baseline costing requirements, and to differentiate between routine and incremental expenditures; such data should ideally include expenditure information by hazard area. The current JEPP program will only be in effect until March 31, 2009; an evaluation of the effectiveness of the program is required as part of the Treasury Board approval process for renewal of the program’s terms and conditions. It is recommended that both the program evaluation process and the Treasury Board renewal process be monitored over the coming months for their findings and the implications for non-federal levels. How JEPP funding mechanisms and processes are shaped in future will determine the strategic and business planning cycle that non-federal levels should consider. Of particular importance will be what changes, if any, will be made to reconcile the misalignment between federal and municipal budgetary processes and fiscal year-end. It is also recommended that research be conducted to identify the specific practical linkages and opportunities such processes as Capability Based Planning, CNIMS, and all-hazard risk assessment models offer non-federal levels toward resource and capability management.

13. ABSTRACT

Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC), Centre for Security Science(CSS) is engaged in several initiatives toward the development of an all-hazards riskassessment model and tools that will contribute to Canadian preparedness for responseto terrorism and other hazards. This Contract Report represents the findings of workconducted in support of the Capability Based Planning Pilot Project lead by the CSSForensics Portfolio Manager. Specifically, the report identifies potential partnershipopportunities with academic research institutes that share a common interest andexpertise in analyzing risk to Canadians from all-hazards, including Chemical,Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives (CBRNE) threats; facilitatescollaborative initiatives that support validation of risk assessment tools – specificallythe connectivity between tools that assess intentional (CBRNE threats) andunintentional (natural hazards) threats; and, provides insights relating to sustainabilityof emergency response across non-federal levels of government.

Le Centre des sciences pour la sécurité (CSS) de Recherche et développement pour ladéfense Canada (RDDC) a entrepris de nombreux projets visant l’élaboration d’outils etd’un modèle d’évaluation de tous les risques, qui contribueront à améliorer lapréparation du Canada à une intervention en cas d’acte terroriste ou d’autre situation demenace. Le présent rapport de contrat fait état des conclusions du travail effectué àl’appui du Projet pilote sur planification axée sur les capacités, qui est dirigé par legestionnaire du portefeuille judiciaire du CSS. Plus particulièrement, le rapportdétermine les possibilités de partenariat avec des établissements universitaires et derecherche qui, comme nous, ont de l’intérêt et de l’expertise dans l’analyse des risquesauxquels sont exposés les Canadiens et Canadiennes, y compris les menaces d’incidentsliés aux dispositifs chimiques, biologiques, radiologiques, nucléaires et explosifs(CBRNE). De plus, il traite des initiatives réalisées, en partenariat à l’appui de lavalidation des outils d’évaluation des risques – notamment la connectivité entre lesoutils d’évaluation des menaces intentionnelles (CBRNE) et des menaces nonintentionnelles (catastrophes naturelles) ainsi que de la viabilité des interventionsd’urgence aux échelons non fédéraux.
