What Is Search And Rescue?
Search And Rescue is an organization that is made up of mostly volunteers and professional agencies committed to tracking and finding lost or injured individuals in wilderness and urban areas.

Who Are Search And Rescue?SAR individuals are either paid professionals
or volunteers that have had extensive training in all types of rescue scenarios.
They are usually the first responders in searching for lost or injured people.
Training is extensive and on going even after an individual has become a member of SAR.
SAR volunteers are required to purchase all of their own equipment and to use their own transportation to get themselves to the designated command post.

SAR Training Many SAR members are
Reserve Sheriff’s Deputies.
Civilian Volunteers are EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) trained and MRA (Mountain Rescue Association) certified.
Training process can take two years or longer depending on the completion of requirements and the individual’s ability.

SAR team members must be ready to participate in searches when called upon. It is important that family members and employers know this so that when there is an emergency the team member is free to respond to duty.

Mounted Search And Rescue Members are qualified horse owners who volunteer their
horse and themselves as a team. Mounted Search And Rescue Teams can cover rugged
terrain more quickly than on foot. Horses give an added sensory to the SAR team. A horse can carry extra SAR equipment in and out of the
rescue site.

Hiker Responsibility Code1. With knowledge and gear. Become self reliant by learning about the
terrain, conditions, local weather and your equipment before you start out.
2. To leave your plans. Tell someone where you are going, the trails you are hiking, when you will return and your emergency plans.
3. To stay together. When you start as a group, hike as a group, end as a group. Pace your hike to the slowest person.
4. To turn back. Weather changes quickly in the mountains. Fatigue and unexpected conditions can also affect your hike. Know your limitations and when to postpone your hike. The mountains will be there another day.
5. For emergencies. Even if you are headed out for just an hour, an injury, severe weather or a wrong turn could become life threatening. Don’t assume you will be rescued; know how to rescue yourself.
6. To share the hiker code with others. Reference: “Hike Safe There And Back” - www.hikesafe.com
