Search and Rescue Basics for schools, care
facilities and businesses
You have inherent moral and legal responsibilities to care for your
population, and chances are you will need to begin these activities on your own if victims are to have a decent chance
of survival. But this is not child's play, and safety is of upmost concern. Effiectiveness is essential.
In addition to classroom teaching, this course requires selected participants to don
proper safety equipment, and conduct a hands-on rescue of a buried "victim" in a dark and debris-ridden simulation.
The victim will not only be located, but also triaged, and "packaged" as appropriate. Participants who do not gear up
will observe the simulation, and all participants will participate in the debriefing. This is a three-hour course.
