Purpose
The province of Newfoundland and Labrador requested federal assistance in response to the wildfire situation. This request led to the deployment of Search and Rescue Volunteer Association of Canada (SARVAC) responders under the Humanitarian Workforce (HWF) program. Their role was to support safety and travel management, evacuations, wellness checks, and security efforts in response to increasing capacity demands caused by high summer temperatures, overlapping displacement events, and a dynamic wildfire response situation.
