The Government of Nova Scotia, with the assistance of the Emergency Measures Organization, is responsible for providing ground search and rescue services throughout the province. A general agreement defines the roles and responsibilities of the main organizations involved in ground and inland water SAR. These organizations include the EMO, the RCMP, the Nova Scotia Ground Search and Rescue Association, and the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association Nova Scotia. Under contract with the provincial Department of the Solicitor General, local police forces, including the RCMP, coordinate and assign resources as required. The EMO has an agreement to provide assistance to local police forces by providing air SAR support when required.
