IPREM is an intergovernmental entity working to improve emergency management at all levels of government in MetroVancouver. It was established
in 2009 with full support from local, regional and provincial governments. Emergency Management is a shared responsibility – various public and private
agencies operate under the British Columbia Emergency Response Management System (BCERMS) with the common aim of ensuring our region is
prepared and resilient.
IPREM’s role is to facilitate multi-sector cooperation between private and public organizations involved in emergency management.
