Squamish Emergency Program

The Squamish Emergency Program(SEP) is a volunteer community-based Search and Rescue (SAR) and Emergency Social Services (ESS) team. Its members are from all walks of life but share a common interest in providing an important life-saving service to the public, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Search and Rescue is a crucial part of the Squamish Emergency Program with Squamish being the "Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada". Volunteer members are trained in Ground Search and Rescue, Rope Rescue, Mountain Rescue, Swift Water Rescue, and Helicopter External Transportation System.
