Implement a national HazMat/CBRNE training initiative that is available to all first responders, both professional and volunteer.

The purpose of this project is to obtain and implement a uniform information management system (IMS) for all OSARVA teams in Ontario. To use standards software and data fields to accurately collect historical and current data from all OSARVA teams to allow for evidence based training initiatives and resource allocation decisions. The data will also be used to track equipment needs, pull reports and gather accurate statistical information for government and non-government agencies at the local, provincial and national levels. A standardized IMS will support and promote the collection of data by members and would improve the quality and consistency of data collected. A provincial database would also allow for the creation and maintenance of an up-to-date and accurate list of all mutual aid capabilities, equipment and resources in the event of an emergency.

This project will be coordinated by the AQBRS Training Advisor, a member of the Board of Directors, and supported by two groups of AQBRS trainers and external experts in civil security and adult education. To achieve this goal, in the first place, a targeted training program and a related toolkit will be developed, program and tools tailored to the specific needs of ground search and rescue volunteers to enable them to respond to situations, situations and emergency. To facilitate the implementation of this program and its sustainability. the project will also include the development of a training of trainers and the holding of two provincial training workshops for this group within the AQBRS. Once the training of trainers is completed, the training program will be delivered directly to AQBRS Ground R & S teams through three regional workshops. Finally, following these various activities. the toolkit will be enhanced, finalized and distributed within the Association and beyond to encourage continuing education in this area and sustainability of the initial project.

RCMSAR is committed to best practices and adapting to changes in SAR techniques that are often developed in other parts of the world. Events such as the refugees attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea have led to innovations in mass rescue operations that North American SAR agencies can learn from. This congress is a generational opportunity for Canada-based volunteer and professional SAR agencies (Canadian and US Coast Guards) to exchange information and establish collaboration protocols that can lead to reduced gaps in SAR coverage. Ensuring access to participation through registration and accommodation funding will demonstrate the commitment to proficiency and access to international expertise for our on-water SAR simulation crews and other deserving volunteers is an important aspect of volunteer retention and training for RCMSAR as the host of the this event. Participation of CCGA volunteers from across Canada will provide an introduction to international expertise and they will be able to take lessons learned back to their regions. Without financial support for registration, volunteers from British Columbia (RCMSAR) and CCGA (rest of Canada) may not have the ability to take advantage of this opportunity that is the largest of its kind in the world and in North America for the first time. It is important to note that the success of WRMC is not contingent on funding from Public Safety Canada and the overall budget does not include this as a forecasted revenue.
