Published purpose
This 3 year project is to build on the work previously accomplished within the last two funding cycles (2021-22 & 2022-23). The initial funding cycle for 2021-22 established the foundation in the form of an enhanced governance construct for SARVAC, as well as the development of a National SAR Operations Concept (NSOC). This project proposes to continue to enhance SARVAC’s capabilities, with a focus on evolving capacity to provide rapid emergency management response with a particular emphasis on building capacity to respond to both large-scale events as well as sustainable responses in small remote and marginalized communities.
