All levels of government in Canada help to protect the health of Canadians from threats as part of their efforts to promote health and prevent disease. Local, provincial and territorial authorities do much of that work with federal government support from the Public Health Agency of Canada's Centre for Emergency Preparedness and Response (CEPR).

Emergency preparedness and response are essential for preserving health and safety in our communities. As Canada’s largest and most trusted group of healthcare providers, registered nurses are involved in all stages of emergency management, including prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.

The Canadian Red Cross mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity in Canada and around the world.

The continuing worldwide experience of disaster and emergency events, both human-caused and related to micro-organisms, geology, and climate, serves to confirm the need for nurses to be ready with a common understanding of how to participate in preparation, response and recovery.

CNPS is a not-for-profit society that offers legal advice, risk-management services, legal assistance and professional liability protection related to nursing practice in Canada to more than 135,000 eligible nurses.
