Search and Rescue
Search: To locate persons in distress
Rescue: To retrieve persons in distress, provide for their initial medical or other needs, deliver them to a place of safety and get your teams out safely.
Search is often the more time-consuming task:
• Where to look?• What resources to use?• How long do you look?• How to best keep track of your
resources.
![Page 3: Search and Rescue Search: To locate persons in distress Rescue: To retrieve persons in distress, provide for their initial medical or other needs, deliver.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649d1b5503460f949f1286/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• “What hampers me as a searcher is that I don't think like a lost person (well, mostly ...). Maybe one (two?!?) out of 10 times have I looked at a map, waved my divining rod over it and said: "There!" and been anywhere close to right. Each SAR is like learning all something new each time. So the priority tools (and tech devices), for me, would be those which contribute to better organizing and visualizing the SAR and the terrain.”
Robert Koester, Lost Person Behavior

GIS will improve operational effectiveness in four areas:
· Data and Information Management
· Planning and Analysis
· Field Operations
· Situational Awareness
· Common Operating Picture

When Reporting Coordinates, you need to be clear!
“Team 1. We’ve found a shoe print matching the missing person. CoordinatesFrom our GPS are: UTM Zone 11N, three seven two six eight one point two seven byFour zero seven one one four eight point seven two. Datum is NAD eighty threeWe are just south of the “C” in Charlotte Lake on the 7.5 minute USGS quad.
“… Coordinates from our 7.5 minute Mt. Clarence King quad in Degrees Minutes Seconds are thirty six degrees, forty six minutes and thirty nine seconds North andOne hundred and eighteen degrees, twenty five minutes, thirty six seconds West.The map datum is NAD twenty seven. We are just south of the “C” in Charlotte Lake.”
When Receiving Coordinates: Ask for Clarification! Ask what coordinate systemAnd datum is being used. What the source is.
If possible, follow up with a written record or email and JPG of the spot.
Take no chances!

For all of this technology’s potential, the lost and injured are found and rescued by dedicated searchers working in difficult and dangerous conditions far from help themselves.
Effective SAR is founded on the actions of searchers voluntarily leaving a warm and comfortable environment to go out in often horrendous weather and terrain to look for a lost person. SAR will always require people with specific knowledge of an area to be able to properly evaluate and make decisions based on that experience.
GIS, though, is a vital tool to efficiently and effectively envision complex information – turning a flat piece of paper into a better approximation of the territory.
