Slide 5 Public Safety Canada Portfolio Public Safety Canada works with five agencies and three review bodies, united in a single portfolio and report to the same minister. This ensures better integration among federal organizations dealing with national security, emergency management, law enforcement, corrections, crime prevention and borders. Together, these organizations have an annual budget of close to $6 billion and more than 52,000 employees coast to coast. The Department of Public Safety has approximately 1,100 employees, with a budget of more than $425 million. Slide 6 Public Safety Canada Portfolio

Four Canadian cities (Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Halifax) and the Province of Manitoba currently have, or are developing, interoperable Heavy USAR capacity. Slide 17 Joint Emergency Preparedness Program (JEPP) Provides federal financial contributions to provinces and territories to assist with the costs of projects aimed at enhancing national emergency response capability. The Three federal priorities: Education and training (i.e. BEM, EOCM) Telecommunications Exercises EMO can also use JEPP Funding to obtain EM equipment such as generators for comfort centers and Jaws of Life for first responders Slide 18 Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangement (DFAA) Federal funds made available when response/recovery costs exceed what a province/territory can reasonably bear alone. Cost shared with province/territory. Eligible costs may include such things as: Re-instating the necessities of life to individuals, such as shelter, clothing, transportation measures to reduce the extent of damage or restore a primary residence or farm building, clearing debris restoration of public infrastructure Paid to provincial/territorial government only, not to municipalities, businesses or individuals
