Teams are equipped for unsupported
searches of up to three days, longer with major events such as a National or International
disaster. Our organization has put together a search cache for events that may last
five days or longer.
A Quick Response:
A quick request by the agency in need of our services will insure
a quick response by us. It is vital that the requesting party contact our call-out
coordinator as soon as possible even if only to place us in an alert or ready
status. This not only assists us in responding quickly when you need us, but also
greatly increases the chances of finding the victim alive.
Transportation:
In most cases transportation is provided by member vehicles
(4-wheel drive), the Civil Air Patrol, or the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center at
Scott Air Force Base. The Civil Air Patrol and other Air Force aircraft can be
arranged for by the requesting agency at no cost through the Air Force Rescue Coordination
Center (see contacts).
More Efficient Teams:
A well rested team after a day of searching is a more efficient tool.
It is suggested, when possible, that teams be given adequate sleeping conditions by
the requesting agency.
