Abstract:
The topic of this paper is framed within the context of the evolution of what is referred to as modern emergency management programmes covering the 20th and 21st century, and is centred on two main questions: 'How does an emergency management programme fit within the broader construct of an organisational entity?' and 'What changes are needed to have emergency management programmes regarded as strategic value-added programmes?' Why these questions should be of interest to emergency managers will be explored in this paper. Reference will be made to the evolution of the emergency programme at Toronto Pearson International Airport as it relates to the application of the approaches and principles discussed.
