| Below you will find a sample "procedure" or "guide". I posted it here so you can get an idea of where to start with your own Search and Rescue team "Operating Procedures" or "Operating Guide". You can use it as a start for writing your search and rescue team's procedures. |
Search and Rescue - Finds
Clues.
Any and all real or suspected clues on a search and rescue mission must be reported to the Command Post over the primary frequency and recorded.
Subject Found.
Once the subject is found, the Search and Rescue Team immediately informs the Command Post of the subject's location. The team will await instructions. Medical assistance is given only under the direction and control of a medical professional. The Command Post informs all personnel over all the frequencies to return to the Staging Area or pick-up points (unless assistance is needed at the site) and then contacts all cooperating groups to cancel the search effort.
For crime scene situations, the area must be secured and left undisturbed (about 100' diameter).
Subject Evacuation.
__SAR does not control the evacuation of subjects. Members on-scene
upon request from the on-scene medical professionals may assist in the
evacuation.
