Client Testimonials

“Huron County Council was impressed with the level of research conducted for the review of our service and the well-thought-out recommendations that were supported by data and best practice information. This assignment also required Emergency Management Group Inc. to delve into some difficult labor-management relationship issues and provide advice on possible solutions. As CAO, I was impressed with the way Mr. Culley handled this sensitive portion of the assignment. He provided me with sound advice that I trusted and appreciated.”

Brenda Orchard
CAO, County of Huron

“I recommend Emergency Management Group for all your department Master Fire Plan needs. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable in fire service issues, standards, and industry trends. The whole process with EMG was very pleasurable and enjoyable. EMG staff worked well with all stakeholders on our Master Fire Plan.”

Fire Chief Paul Ryan
Fire Chief, Midland Fire Department

“Your organization went the extra distance and truly made sure all of the bases were covered. This extra information and attention to detail, gave me such a better understanding of the larger picture and how we were to move forward. I was happy to know where I stood with regard to the fire stations and where we were with regard to all applicable legislation, both in the Fire and Building Codes.”

Michael Raine
Fire Chief, Township of Wilmot

“As CAO, I was impressed with the way Mr. Culley handled this sensitive portion of the assignment. He provided me with sound advice that I trusted and appreciated. I observed his interaction with our EMS Chief when reviewing the findings and I greatly appreciated the forthright yet sensitive way that he communicated some of the messages that needed to be conveyed. Mr. Culley’s approach certainly assisted me in handling the personnel issues.

Emergency Management and Training provided the County of Huron with excellent, well researched and thoughtful recommendations. Their presentation to County Council was thorough and of the highest standard. County Council was extremely pleased with their work and we do not hesitate in recommending them.”

Brenda Orchard
CAO, County of Huron

“The team at Emergency Management & Training Inc. maintained a high level of professionalism and open communication throughout the review process. They took the time to consider all options, often working outside options, in order to provide council with a series of recommendations to move out Fire Services forward over the coming years.

Having spent months working closely with the team at Emergency Management & Training Inc. I would highly recommend them for future consulting projects and hope to have the opportunity to work with them again.”

Why Choose EMG Inc.?

At EMG Inc., we understand that resilience is not one-size-fits-all—it is rooted in community context, built through collaboration, and strengthened by practical action. Here are reasons why municipalities, emergency services, and public-sector organizations across Canada place their trust in EMG:

Proven Expertise in Complex Environments

With decades of combined experience in emergency management, disaster risk reduction, public safety, and climate adaptation, our team delivers strategies that are both technically sound and operationally effective. We work across sectors and disciplines to address evolving risks with clarity and confidence.

Community-Driven, Action-Oriented Approach

We design solutions that reflect the unique needs of each community, prioritizing equity, inclusion, and local capacity. From strategic and master planning to public education, our work empowers communities to reduce risk and adapt to change in ways that are realistic, implementable, and locally supported.

Regionally Informed, Nationally and Internationally Aligned

With consultants based in nearly every province and in the United States, EMG provides region-specific expertise grounded in local realities. We adapt our approach to fit the unique needs of each community—whether coastal, urban, rural, or remote—while remaining aligned with national and international policies, regulations, and funding frameworks.

Truly Coast to Coast to Coast

EMG is proud to be a coast to coast-to-coast company, having delivered successful projects from Fogo Island, NL in the east, to Port Renfrew, BC in the west, to Grise Fiord, NU in the north. Our geographic reach reflects our deep commitment to serving communities across all regions of Canada.

Collaborative, End-to-End Service

We support clients through every phase of planning and implementation—from initial assessments and stakeholder engagement to plan delivery and capacity building. Our in-house team of consultants, project managers, technical specialists, and support staff ensures clear communication, accountability, and quality assurance at every stage.

Trusted by Governments and Agencies Across Canada

Our track record includes successful partnerships with municipalities, Indigenous governments, health authorities, provincial ministries, and emergency services. We’ve served organizations of all sizes—from developing security plans for small places of worship to creating emergency preparedness plans for over 650 sites of a national corporation.

Our work spans from supporting a First Nation with 600 residents to collaborating with the federal government, from a single small-town library to the largest construction company in Canada.
