The SARVAC contribution program provides sustainable organizational and functional funding for SARVAC to promote interoperability, portability and consistency in procedures and protocols for Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR) volunteers and in the messaging they provide to the general public.
The province of Newfoundland and Labrador requested federal assistance in response to the wildfire situation. This request led to the deployment of Search and Rescue Volunteer Association of Canada (SARVAC) responders under the Humanitarian Workforce (HWF) program. Their role was to support safety and travel management, evacuations, wellness checks, and security efforts in response to increasing capacity demands caused by high summer temperatures, overlapping displacement events, and a dynamic wildfire response situation.
The Search and Rescue Volunteer Association of Canada (SARVAC) will deploy sixteen responders per week over a period of four weeks to support evacuees and those displaced by the Manitoba wildfires, including Indigenous Peoples, in response to Manitoba's request for federal assistance. This deployment will assist with evacuations and shelter operations, the distribution of prepared meals, the provision of basic information, triaging and directions, and the delivery of peer mental wellness supports.
