History

The Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) was a joint federal, provincial, and municipal government funded organization which focused on emergency response during both a wartime or peacetime era. The organization was Canada wide and approved in Parliament in 1960. However, discussion of such planning and the need for the organization began in the later 1950s. This fonds specifically reflects the Kingston/ County of Frontenac area and the EMO’s actions and implementation in the region. This specific branch became active in 1960 and was defunded in 1975. The EMO was replaced in Ontario with new emergency planning and programs post 1980.
