The Canada Emergency Response Benefit Act passed on March 25, 2020 to provide income support for Canadian workers whose employment income has been disrupted by COVID-19. Through the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) the Government of Canada is providing a taxable benefit of $2,000 every 4 weeks for up to 16 weeks to eligible workers who have lost income or stopped working due to COVID-19. Applications for CERB are being made via Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Service Canada (SC). Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) has compiled data on various metrics related to applications submitted and distributed through both Departments.

Data set listing the interventions carried out by the Montreal Fire Safety Service (SIM), including the location of interventions and the units deployed since 2005. This data is taken from the Workstation Assisted Dispatch System (RAO), a central subsystem of the intervention management system that allows real-time management, vehicle dispatch and operational monitoring of interventions. This data is collected to produce reports required by the Ministry of Public Security and required for the SIM. It also makes it possible to compile statistics in order to disseminate information to citizens, the media and insurers.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Contains research data collected in support of a study of the health of firefighters deployed to Fort McMurray from 13 fire services during the fire of May to June 2016.

This product provides information on the geographic position of ambulance meeting point signs in the territory of Bas-Saint-Laurent as well as that of Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine. The project of ambulance meeting points in the public forest was launched in the early 2000s. This project made it possible to establish a unique network bringing together ambulance meeting points available for all organizations using the forest environment, such as emergency action plan coordinators for forest workers, the Emergency Call Center for Eastern Quebec Regions (CAUREQ) and first responders from emergency services. The South-East Forest Management Directorate centralized the data from these points a few years after the start of the project. This centralization was done with the help of the Regional Operations Sector (SOR) and Rexforêt. It allowed the integration and standardization of data from the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine regions. Traffic signs have been installed on the territory of both regions to indicate the meeting points for paramedics. This vector layer is official and updated annually. It is essential for the safety of forest workers that this data be easily accessible, up to date and uniform for the Lower Laurentian and Gaspesian territories. N.B: A file tracking changes to ambulance meeting points can be sent on request if necessary.This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).

Flood extent polygons for the past three months throughout Canada as monitored by Natural Resources Canada using satellite imagery for emergency response. In response to large flood events, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), for the provision of emergency geomatics services, may be activated by Canada’s emergency management protocols. As new satellite imagery becomes available, NRCan will extract flood extent polygons and update the dataset in near real time (4 hours). This item contains the flood products generated in the past year. For any data relating to previous years, please refer to the Floods in Canada – Archive entry. Please note that the web mapping service may not display data if flood polygons have not been published by the EGS for the current year. The flood products generated are validated on a best effort basis. Various factors may affect the quality of the flood polygons. These factors include, but are not limited to, sensor type, image resolution, cloud cover or limitations of the flood polygon extraction method. In this layer, where possible, a symbology is applied to the flood polygons based on the underlying land use classification, or is simply unclassified and shows the raw flood extent. When using Web mapping services, to display a specific product, filter by date (UTC Date) and area of interest (AOI). Also, a link to download each product is available in the Resources section. This prepackaged and compressed product contains a Shape file, a PDF file and a KMZ file. Disclaimer : Emergency response authorities are the primary users of these satellite-derived open water flood extent map products. These products are generated to provide analysis and emergency response situational awareness and to facilitate decision-making during major flood events. The open water flood extent products are generated rapidly and limited time is available for editing and validation. The flood products reflect the open water flood conditions at the date/time of acquisition. While efforts are made to produce high quality products, near-real time products may contain errors due to the limited time available for vector editing and validation. Please note that current algorithms do not map flooded areas under the forest canopy and are not optimized for urban flood mapping.

This audit focused on whether Employment and Social Development Canada and the Department of Finance Canada provided analysis to support the initial design and subsequent adjustments to the Canada Emergency Response Benefit. This audit also focused on whether Employment and Social Development Canada and the Canada Revenue Agency designed mechanisms so that the Canada Emergency Response Benefit would support eligible workers who suffered a loss of income for reasons related to COVID‑19, including limiting attempts to abuse the benefit.

Land cover information is necessary for a large range of environmental applications related to climate impacts and adaption, emergency response, wildlife habitat, etc. In Canada, a 2008 user survey indicated that the most practical land cover data is provided in a nationwide 30 m spatial resolution format, with an update frequency of five years. In response to this need, the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) has generated a 30 m land cover map of Canada for the base year 2010, as the first of a planned series of maps to be updated every five years, or more frequently. This land cover dataset is also the Canadian contribution to the 30 m spatial resolution 2010 Land Cover Map of North America, which is produced by Mexican, American and Canadian government institutions under a collaboration called the North American Land Change Monitoring System (NALCMS). This land cover dataset for Canada is produced using observation from Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) Landsat sensors. An accuracy assessment based on 2811 randomly distributed samples shows that land cover data produced with this new approach has achieved 76.60% accuracy with no marked spatial disparities. - Land Cover of Canada - Cartographic Product Collection
