MIPL Emergency Management Program
4.7.2
Emergency Operation Centre
An Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) is defined as an operation centre established in a suitable location to manage the larger aspects of an emergency. In a high-impact emergency, there may be a number of EOCs established to support the emergency response. These may include the regional and corporate EOCs, and the provincial government EOC.
4.7.3
Provincial Emergency Operation Centre
In Saskatchewan, a provincial level emergency response may involve coordination by the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA), a Crown agency within the Government of Saskatchewan. SPSA provides labour, equipment, and coordination for all provincial emergencies through their Provincial Emergency Operations Centre. If an emergency begins to escalate beyond the capacity of a local jurisdiction or in a number of jurisdictions, the Provincial EOC may be activated depending on the level of the incident(s). First responders may be involved in the initial response as identified in Figure 3 and carry out activities to protect themselves, the public and ensure public safety. As first on scene, they will set up a Command Post and act as the Incident Commander until company personnel arrive on site and are briefed on the situation. MIPL is responsible for the management of emergency situations relating to all operations. Should an emergency occur, MIPL shall activate the appropriate emergency response plan and work with the affected municipality, health authority, environmental agency/regulator, regulatory body, and other provincial government departments and/or agencies, as required following Figure 3 and Table 6.
