Search and Rescue Emergency Management and Climate Readiness Moratorium

Whereas the current search and rescue director of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness EMCR imposed a moratorium on all of the Provinces search and rescue teams, prohibiting those groups from expanding their capabilities until the Province has conducted a needs assessment study; And whereas Search and Rescue groups provide invaluable services crucial to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, tourist safety, and overall community well-being: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM lobby the provincial government to promptly lift this moratorium and allow Search and Rescue groups to add to their list of capabilities.
