Search and Rescue Teams in British Columbia are composed of some 4000 volunteers province wide and participate in approximately 1000
searches per year. Not all these searches occur in the wilderness. Urban searches occur for Alzheimer’s patients, missing children
and police evidence searches.
Search and Rescue personnel also assist in road control during fires, floods, or in evacuations during
any Civic Emergency. Search and Rescue is part of PEP (Provincial Emergency Program) and is responsible to that agency.
