the three North Shore gov-
ernments. The amount paid
is based on population with
the greater share coming
from North Vancouver
District. Until 1978 the pro-
gram was run provincially
and was known as the
Emergency Measures
Organization.

The North and West Van-
couver Emergency Program
has contingency plans for all
disasters. They are prepared
to act in the event of earth-
quake, flood, fire and even
tiuclear war.

Jefford says there isn’t
much that can be done in
case of nuclear war but it
should be people’s first pri-
ority. “We should do as
much as we.can to protect
ourselves,’’ he says. But, he
adds, ‘‘Nobody even wants
to talk about it.”

The rescue team is proba-
bly the most well-known
aspect of the program.

The 50 volunteer members
are required to have a
knowledge of the local ter-
rain, first aid and map and
compass. Applications are
reviewed in April, training is
done from September
through June.

Jefford stresses one of the
most important skills of the
team is the ability to work
and. communicate as a
group. A knowledge of first
aid and a willingness to help
in case of emergency is not
enough, he says. ‘‘People
come out of the woodwork
during emergencies,’’ he
says. “But they aren’t orga-

nized and they’re not effee-
live.””

Enthusiasm isn't enough,
Jefford says. ‘“‘We need
people, who, in the middle
of the night, when it's pour-
ing rain or the snow is really
coming down, can get
around and we don’t have to
worry about them. [t's not
an individual type of thing.
It’s got to be a team.”

Searches are what the
rescue team are asked to do
most often. A call is made to
the Emergency Program's
command centre by the
RCMP. Jefford decides how
many people and what
equipment is needed. A
search master is called: one
of three on call around the
clock.

The team is divided into
five squads of 10 members
each with a leader appointed
to each squad. Each squad
reports to the search master
who assigns different areas
to cover. A cell of two or
three members is given ap-
propriate equipment to cover
specific areas. The search
master is to co-ordinate who
goes where and does what.
Every member has standard
first aid, says Jefford and on
searches members must con-
centrate on the medical
aspects of their training.

Jefford doesn’t like to
think of the program as a
service. ‘‘It’s insurance,”’ he
says. It is something we hope
not .to use but are glad to
have it when the need is
there.’”

“It’s the happy endings
that keep people going,” he
