Agenda

Promote effective and efficient SAR programs

through the continuous improvement of shared

search and rescue information across Canada

SAR KMS MISSION

The Search and Rescue Knowledge Management System (SAR KMS) is a system of complementary components that:

1. Provide the means for sharing, analyzing, and viewing comprehensive time-sensitive SAR information across the Government(s) of Canada; and

2. Builds the foundation for the transition to an integrated National SAR Information Sharing Network.

WHAT IS SAR KMS

4

SAR KMS aims to achieve three objectives:

1. Support authoritative evidence based policy and program decisions;

2. Promote more effective and efficient planning, response, risk and resource management; and

3. Maintain a coordinated, effective, Canadian search and rescue capability

WHAT WE AIM TO ACHIEVE

HOW WE WILL DO IT

6

Key Objectives hinge on availability and richness of SAR data. Therefore SAR KMS must:

• Capture data from as may sources as possible;

• Augment incident data with public internet sources; and

• Correlate incident data and enable mapping to provide geo-analysis and a common operating picture

• NOTE that NO privacy related data collected.

The SAR KMS will:

• Support planning activities & funding requests;

• Highlight gaps between reality and goals;

• Provide benchmarking based on best practices;

• Support measurement of system performance;

• Demonstrate results & prudent use of resources; and

• Assist in communicating to the public
