How much does it cost to provide lifesaving Search and Rescue services?

$30 is the price of protective goggles, which improve vision during foul weather rescues.

$72 is the price of a helmet – essential for a crewmember racing at high speeds to a rescue.

$150 pays for a utility vest, which gives a crewmember quick access to first aid and safety equipment.

$400 buys a radio for fast communication between rescue crews and rescue coordinators.

$500 is the price of an all-weather survival suit, necessary for British Columbia's freezing waters and harsh winter storms.

An average incident costs $174 in fuel and equipment wear and tear just to have a single crew tasked. This amount does not include the initial purchase of the vessel or the purchase of sophisticated navigation, communication and crew equipment onboard.
