The Saanich Emergency Program (SEP) is a division of the Saanich Fire Department that provides the
citizens of Saanich with a response to emergencies, major emergencies and disasters. SEP provides for the
continuity of government and the preservation of life and property through a coordinated response by
elected officials, municipal departments, volunteer services and such outside agencies as may be able to
assist during a major emergency or disaster.
Saanich has 100 municipal staff who have received Emergency Operations Centre training. Our Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), will act as a
24-hour "mission control" during a large scale emergency.
105 Saanich volunteers routinely train and exercise to provide support to the EOC as well as provide
community support throughout the year.
They are involved in the program under four components.
- Emergency Social Services (ESS) and ESS Level One
- Search and Rescue (SAR)
- Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Team (COMMS)
- Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness Program (NEPP)
