Search and Rescue Alberta

We’re celebrating 30 years! Search and Rescue Alberta is the provincial association for volunteer search and rescue within the province. For the past 30 years, our mission has been to assist search and rescue teams in their efforts to provide a superior and dedicated level of service to the people of Alberta. Today, we proudly continue in that mission. To learn more about what we do, please read our 2024 Progress Report.

Our Role in Disasters

Drawing from our 1400+ highly trained search and rescue (SAR) members, we supply a much-needed resource to support municipalities, First Nations and other agencies responding to civil emergencies. To learn more, please visit our disaster response site and read our 2024 Wildfire Report.

Search and Rescue Alberta is responsible for the coordination of ground and inland water search and rescue (SAR) incidents under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Services in the province of Alberta.
