National environmental emergencies contingency plan / Environment Canada, Environmental Emergencies Program.: En40-584/1999E-PDF
"The National Environmental Emergencies Contingency Plan (the National Plan) is a key element in Environment Canada’s overall national emergency preparedness program with respect to environmental hazards. The National Plan defines the scope and framework within which Environment Canada operates to ensure appropriate response to any environmental hazard or emergency. The Plan also deals with Environment Canada’s role in the event of natural hazards (flood, earthquake, extreme weather event, etc.) which may trigger environmental emergencies. The department’s role is identified as either the lead or a support agency for the various types of environmental emergencies. The plan also describes the emergency reporting network, and provides procedural guidelines for environmental emergencies staff. The custodian for the overall coordination of the National Plan is the Director, Environmental Emergencies Branch"--Letter of promulgation, p. 2-2.
