What a Strong Emergency Response Plan Should Do
Effective plans connect people, procedures and resources. They remove uncertainty, support coordinated decisions and provide a structure that can be tested and improved.
Clarify Roles and Authority
Define who leads, who supports and how responsibilities change as an incident develops.
Turn Hazards Into Action
Connect identified risks with clear procedures, triggers and response priorities.
Support Coordinated Response
Establish how employees, leadership, contractors and external responders work together.
Be Trained, Tested and Updated
Keep the plan current through training, exercises, reviews and lessons learned.

Support From Plan Development Through Testing
Calide provides practical support across the emergency preparedness lifecycle, from assessing current readiness and developing documentation to training teams and testing how plans perform.
ERP Development
Custom emergency response plans built around your specific sites, hazards, and jurisdictional requirements. Clear, practical documents your team can actually follow during a real event, not just satisfy an auditor.
Emergency Preparedness Audits
A structured hazard, risk, and vulnerability assessment of your operations that shows you exactly where you are exposed, with a prioritized plan to close those gaps before an incident does it for you.
Training & Exercises
Hands on training and realistic drills that build genuine readiness, including:
Tabletop exercises: walk your team through scenarios and decision making in a low pressure setting.
Full scale mobilization exercises: on site drills that test your plan, your people, and your coordination under realistic conditions.
Plan reviews: regular reviews to keep your ERP current as your operations change.
ICS Support & Training
Internal Incident Command System (ICS) support and role-specific training so your team can plug into a recognized command structure and coordinate cleanly with responders and regulators during an event.
Wildfire Preparedness
Planning and preparedness support to protect your people, sites, and operations from wildfire risk, assessing exposure and building response protocols before fire season.
E2 and CER Emergency Programs
Emergency plans and manuals for regulated operators, whether you fall under the federal E2 Regulations, the Canada Energy Regulator (CER), or both, plus the exercises and training to put them into practice so you meet your obligations with confidence.
We P.E.A.R. With You

Keep Your Plan Current
When Should an Emergency Response Plan Be Reviewed?
Emergency preparedness is an ongoing process. Plans should evolve as personnel, operations, hazards, response resources and regulatory expectations change.
Review Your Plan...
Following an exercise, incident or near miss
When facilities, equipment or operations change
After organizational or personnel changes
When new hazards or response requirements emerge
When contact information or external resources change
As part of a regular scheduled review cycle
