Update for Physicians on the Nuclear Facility Emergency in Japan

The The National Policy Recommendations on the Use of Antivirals for Prevention during an Influenza Pandemic is now available.

The 2008 Ontario Health Plan for an Influenza Pandemic is now available.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) was one of the largest outbreaks of infectious disease the province had experienced in a very long time. The outbreak identified our health care system’s strengths as well as the challenges it faced.

Since that time, the Emergency Management Branch (EMB) has created a number of programs and provides access to services and supports that can help the health care sector and professionals during times of emergencies.

This section of the web site provides information on emergency planning and preparedness, as well as on the unique programs and services that are available to the health care system and professionals during times of emergency.
