The pie chart below (see Figure 1) is a representation of emergency management in Ontario. All 'slices' may appear equal in size and value, and while they are all required to cover the entirety of emergency management within the province, the resources invested in their development may vary and are program-dependent.

The vision, mission and values, principles of emergency management, and components of emergency management set the foundation for the creation and implementation of emergency management programs and guide the response to emergencies. Governance set out in the EMCPA provides accountability, strategic direction, and leadership for emergency management programs and responses to emergencies. Stakeholders are the formal and informal people/groups involved in emergency management in Ontario. The emergency management strategy lists goals and objectives that Emergency Management Ontario strives to achieve.

Emergency Management in Ontario is represented by seven "pie slices." The slices include Vision, Mission and Values, Principles of EM, Components of EM, EM Programs, Governance, Stakeholders and EM Strategy.
