Welcome to the Vancouver Urban Search and Rescue website.

We are one of five heavy urban search and rescue teams able to deploy anywhere in Canada. We are also the only canadian team certified to be deployable internationally by the Coordinator for UN Emergency Response efforts.

Since 1999 this team has constantly evolved. We have trained members of other Canadian teams as well and we have established a training program which has been adopted by PSEPC (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada) as the national standard.

Our members are dedicated individuals, highly skilled and prepared to respond to various forms of emergency situations.

We hope our site is informative and able to increase your awareness of the Team's capabilities and potential.
