The North Shore Emergency Management Office or NSEMO (formerly the North and West Vancouver Emergency Program) came into existence on September 25, 1978 when the North Vancouver Emergency Measures Organization and the West Vancouver Emergency Program were amalgamated. NSEMO is the only tri-municipal Emergency Management Office in the Metro Vancouver area. The NSEMO Agreement Bylaw establishes NSEMO as an inter-municipal agency of the City of North Vancouver, District of North Vancouver, and District of West Vancouver, created for effective co-operative emergency management. The Director of NSEMO is identified as the Emergency Coordinator for each municipality.
NSEMO supports both municipal and regional North Shore response capabilities by coordinating effective and efficient preparedness, planning, response, and recovery activities by bringing together resources from the three municipalities, response agencies, public safety lifeline volunteers and other organizations on the North Shore.

All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
