We have a core SAR groset up to meet the Provincial expectations and will be forming a Community Response Group for those that still want to be involved with search and rescue but do not meet the new requirements. |
Next year we will move forward to start implementing these measures and form the “Community Response Group Society”. Brett said he expects that about 50% of our response capability will be from this group. The Town would like these two groups to be able to assist in “disaster response situations”. The plan is to have the Community Response in place by Jan 1, 2017, with the formal SAR Group providing the structural support for both groups. PCSAR has a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Directors at Large. The Community Response Group will run with just a President, and Secretary/Treasurer. The model for using this group will be that the “Group” is never tasked, only individuals from this group will be tasked, like a “Spontaneous Searcher”. | Next year we will move forward to start implementing these measures and form the “Community Response Group Society”.
