Safety is first and foremost

A search and rescue organizations' primary concern is the safety of both its' rescue personnel and those it is assisting often in remote and harsh locations frequently exposing their search and rescue personnel to risk.  To mitigate the risks a search and rescue organization will need to

  • Provide and monitor training of its' personnel
  • Purchase, inspect and maintain equipment both to protect its' personnel and to facilitate safe access to remote locations
  • Risk assess their working environments at base and in the field for hazards and document
  • For all tasks record what worked and more importantly what didn't and the lessons learned

What's in it for me

Collecting, filing and analyzing all information required to ensure safety is a time consuming task and as volunteers this is often at the expense of family and leisure time.

Volunteer Rescue provides an electronic means to capture, store and analyze this information centrally and enables an organization to access this information using just an internet browser and internet connection.
