How it works

  1. We talk. We go through your community's emergency plan and pick the packages that fit.
  2. We help with the application. We work with your emergency management coordinator on the Emergency Management Assistance Program (EMAP) application and give you an itemized quote to attach.
  3. ISC and the Nation decide. ISC decides eligibility and funding. Once funding is approved, the Nation decides whether to order.
  4. We deliver. Everything is assembled, packed and labelled in Winnipeg, then shipped by road, winter road or air. Freight is quoted for each order.

Good to know

ISC decides eligibility case by case. Items that are not named on ISC's list are priced separately and only included if your regional office confirms them. Your application can also include training, a tabletop exercise or an emergency plan update, and we'll help you scope those.

Prices are based on Canadian retail prices checked October 9, 2026, before tax and freight. Your quote confirms current prices. Freight and any taxes are quoted separately, and we adjust the package so the total in your application fits ISC's limits. As of October 2026, ISC lists the EMAP Non-Structural Mitigation and Preparedness and FireSmart streams as open for 2026–27 until funds run out, with a final deadline of March 31, 2027.
