Managing Single & Multi-Agency Rescues

On a search and rescue call, organization is key. From initial incident site size-up to team duty designations and situation changes, you need to be able to receive, record, and report information clearly and quickly. This necessity is only compounded when the SAR operation involves multiple departments.

It’s not unusual for fire departments, EMS teams, and local police squads to work together to locate missing and endangered people. Our incident command systems can easily adapt to different first responder specialties, and our tracking systems are simple and system agnostic. They can easily blend into any management system you already have in place.

SAR Tools For A Variety Of Environments

Not all search and rescue operations are going to happen in areas with perfect weather, visibility, or electrical and Wi-Fi access. You want an incident command system that can adapt to use indoors and outdoors and quickly shifting environmental risks.

Our command boards come with an easy-to-use and change dry-erase magnetic surface. You don’t have to worry about powering up, plugging in, or fiddling with controls. You can use them indoors, outdoors, or even on the go.

Outdoors — Missing Hikers, Boaters & Skiers
Confined Spaces — Mine, Building, Or Construction Site Collapse
Indoors — Hazardous Material Facilities
Mixed Sites — Structural Or Wilderness Fires

Command That Evolves With Your Program

Maybe you’ve switched from plastic responder accountability tags to Velcro Passport system tags. Your response area could expand to include a national park or construction-heavy urban development project. Over time, the search and rescue incidents your team responds to can change along with the policies, procedures, and technologies you use to respond most effectively.

Our mobile ICS and dry-erase command boards are easy to set up anywhere. You can use them repeatedly, year after year, without doing any kind of permanent damage. Just because your action plan and tracking tech changes doesn’t mean your command system has to.
