This project is about enhancing the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in search and rescue so as to improve final outcomes, improving interoperability between resources and among jurisdictions as well as streamlining record keeping and reporting.

The purpose of the project is to improved access to GSAR-specific training opportunities and train mentorship to members across the territory during 2019-20.
The objectives of the project are to : i) engage membership and partners in developing a training strategy for YSAR members and ii) hold skills clinics and workshops across Yukon in 2019-20. The Strategy is to include definition of : core competencies, approaches to help YSAR members achieve the competencies, and sustainability/continuous improvement of the training model. The clinics & workshops will help build local GSAR trainer and searcher capacity and foster alliances across the YSAR membership.

The objective of this project will develop and validate a real-time livestock and poultry transport monitoring system that utilizes a blockchain approach to transaction transparency and accountability, and, in so doing, provide quality assurance validation to all actors along the value chain.
