Taking a new view and approach to Emergency Management, I look outside the box for solutions. As climate change, politics, and theologies change, our thinking to disasters of all types cannot remain the same. We as a society have been taking the same approach year after year to disasters, and year after year the devastation is the same. As the old saying goes, "you never get a new result by doing the same thing over and over again!" This new way of thinking however, is backed up by quality traditional education:• Graduate, Emergency Management Program, Sir Sanford Fleming College, Peterborough• Basic Emergency Management Certificate from Emergency Management Ontario• Preparation of complete Emergency Management Plan, including all aspect of a complete plan (Emergency, Communications, EOC Activation, Social Services etc. Plans)• Approximately 6 plus years familiarity with private sector Emergency Response and Planning• Design and delivery of Fall 2007 Severn Sector E.M. Meeting• Design and delivery of the Asphodel/Norwood annual exercise, Winter 2008•Design, delivery, training module delivery evaluation and debriefing of the 2008 Northumberland County Multi-centre Emergency exercise from the County EOC. Included in this exercise were Alnwick/Haldimand, Cramahe and Trent Hills townships• Designed, authored and presented the Fire Warden Training Program for Nelson Thomson Publishing in Scarborough ON, 2004*Member of Disaster Preparedness Planning Committee, and Emergency Response Team for Nelson Thomson Publishing for 4 years*Member/Chair of Joint Health and Safety Committee at Nelson Thomson Publishing for 4 years• Five plus years experience as Security Officer, 4 in a Supervisory capacity (most notable, Site Supervisor at McMichael Canadian Art Collection)
