Historique
In 1960, the Civil Defence Branch of the Ontario Department of Planning and Development was renamed the Emergency Measures Branch. In 1961, the Branch briefly fell under the direction of the Ontario Department of Commerce and Development, but was subsequently transferred in January, 1962, to the Ontario Department of the Attorney General. By 1962, the name of the Branch was also changed to the Emergency Measures Organisation. In 1964, however, the name was changed back to the Emergency Measures Branch and placed within the newly established Public Safety Division.
During the re-organisation of the government in 1972, the Emergency Measures Branch, along with the Public Safety Division, was transferred to the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General.
The Branch was abolished on December 31, 1975. Following this action the Ontario Government disbursed the responsibility for action in emergency situations by establishing the "lead ministry" concept under Order in Council 1487/75. This concept was not a program as such, but was conceived as a procedure whereby municipalities facing an emergency beyond their resources might request assistance from the provincial government. Under this concept the Solicitor General received responsibility for major air crashes, other peacetime emergencies and war emergencies.
In 1981, however, an Emergency Planning Section was established within the Ministry of the Solicitor General. By 1995, this section had developed into Emergency Measures Ontario, with a mandate similar to the former Emergency Measures Branch.
