Emergency Management Office of Nova Scotia

EMO / NS

Founded in 1971, as the Emergency Measures Organization, EMO/NS, now known as the Emergency Management Office co-ordinates the use of provincial resources in support of land, marine and air SAR services. In an emergency search, EMO/NS determines the availability of support and acts as a direct liaison between the responsible authorities and SAR service providers.

In addition to its work with the RCMP and the NSGSARA, EMO/NS assists federal air and marine SAR operations on request by the Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC) in Halifax.

The individual Nova Scotia GSAR teams operate under the umbrella of and have official status with, the EMO/NS.  The EMO/NS divides the province into four operational zones; Western, Central, Eastern, and the new zone South Shore.

The teams are shown on the Team List, showing which zone they are located in (A map of Nova Scotia showing the EMO Zones can be found on the EMO (N.S.) WEB site).

Each of these Zones has an EMO Zone Controller.  They are as follows:
