During a Search and Rescue operation, HSAR has the capacity to deploy a variety of resources depending on the situation. Our team operates with more than 150 active members and a dedicated K9-RCMP certified civil search dog unit.
We have six response vehicles including command and logistics trucks, a small boat, ARGO, and several vehicles. We work with 22 other Search and Rescue teams in Nova Scotia, as well as other emergency response teams in the region to bring lost persons home, including the Canadian Armed Forces, the Canadian Coast Guard, EMO, RCMP, Halifax Police, the Department of Natural Resources (helicopter services), Halifax Fire, EHS, and the Canadian Red Cross.
