Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The CEPR (under the umbrella of the Public Health Agency of Canada [PHAC]) is responsible for coordinating services required to handle all health risk and security threats in Canada. It provides a comprehensive program to train and certify Health Emergency Response Teams to respond to emergency situations in Canadian communities. Although paramedics play an important role in disaster management, a known director, such as the CEPR, must coordinate the response.
