History

Following a high profiled incident in 1991, research and development began into the OVERT program. The goal was to create a better way to train and integrate community volunteers.

Following a period of research and development, OVERT went operational in 1996. Since that time organization has assisted over fifty agencies within Ontario, and has been deployed internationally during major disasters.


Search & Rescue

Initially developed with Ground Search and Rescue in mind, OVERT has evolved the ability to respond to a diverse range of situations – floods, fires, evacuations, fast water search operations, technical rescue, traffic control, extreme heat and cold alerts, live and deceased person searches.
