EMG was a planning and coordinator consultant for Exercise Caduceus, a simulated car bomb at the Constellation Hotel in Toronto. This operation involved the National Office of Health Emergency Response Team (NOHERT), the provincial EMAT team, the Ontario Provincial Police Provincial Emergency Response Team (PERT), four Heavy Urban Search and Rescue (HUSAR) teams from across Canada, and support agencies. Over 1000 responders were on-site for a full 72 hours, making this Canada’s largest full civilian disaster exercise. EMT provided 20 consultants, controllers and evaluators for this exercise.
