The Ontario Volunteer Emergency Response Team (OVERT) Inc. is a unique concept in community based emergency response. Upon request, OVERT can rapidly deploy a team of professionally trained volunteers with a broad spectrum of capabilities in response to a major incident.
Incidents such as abductions, missing persons, natural disasters and other community emergencies have the potential to tax financial and man-power resources of a primary response agency. It is for this reason that OVERT has been developed – to allow for a seamless, efficient and cost-effective integration of additional resources.
As an organization of volunteers, OVERT provides this second-tier of emergency response without charge to the community. Our ability to adapt to different situations provides our partnered agencies with a valuable resource, without adding logistic or financial burden.
