SAR Skills Handbook - A Practitioner's Guide to Search and Rescue
SAR management and SAR field response has changed greatly in the past few years. Searches no longer last for days or weeks. Usually they are over in 24 to 48 hours.
This Handbook recognizes these changes and focuses on current SAR field "best practices" and techniques: both for new SAR field responders and experienced SAR field and management personnel.
It provides:
- Guidance to SAR field responders on the best practices and techniques
- Information about the duties and tasks of SAR field responders
- Current information on SAR field responder clothing and equipment
- Details on the latest search techniques
- Information on SAR specialties such as tracking, survival, emergency medical care and subject packageing and transport
A rich set of appendices complement and extend the core SAR responder skills that are the cornerstones of the Handbook.
