“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.”

“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.

“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.”

The Town of Petawawa engaged Emergency Management & Training to deliver the required emergency exercise and training for 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2021. The consultants also prepared the Town’s IMS based Emergency Response Plan in 2017. I worked closely with Mr. Darryl Culley and his team who provided town staff with challenging yet thoughtful training experiences. Mr. Culley was able to put staff at ease and certainly demonstrated his strong communication skills and professionalism during the Town events. Town Council was very pleased with the end result of the Emergency Response Plan.

It was a pleasure to work with EM&T—they were knowledgeable both from an academic perspective and a practical perspective. They were quick to respond to our requests and provided quality deliverable within the agreed upon schedule. The EM&T team for our project was available for meetings whenever we had additional clarifications or follow up questions.

“Speaking in parables, Darryl’s entertaining stories conveyed what I needed to realize – that I really wouldn’t be prepared in the event of a crisis – and prompted me to take action! Reassurance is in both his manner and the spirit of the Incident Management System he provides. He brings the reality home, while remaining upbeat and positive. Thanks Darryl!”
