Our goals in this area include:
- information tables at community events
- distributing flyers describing our search and rescue team and how to join
- try to obtain at least one article a year about our search and rescue team in each of the area newspapers
- web site
- informational presentations for local groups and/or schools
Information tables at community events include flyers from our search and rescue team as well as flyers obtained from other organizations committed to protecting children.
At least once a year, we try to obtain at least one article in the local newspapers. It may be coverage of a training mission or an actual mission. It may be a human interest article. We try to include contact information in that article as well as a call for volunteers.
Our website contains information about how to join our search and rescue team in addition to basic information about the team.
We make ourselves available to local groups and to schools to discuss the importance of keeping safe and to share tips on what a lost person can do to make themselves easier to find by the search and rescue team.
By offering preventative search and rescue information, we hope to help at least one person from the stress of becoming lost. If we can't protect them from becoming lost, we can make sure they know what to do once they are lost so that finding them is faster.
