Support/Comms

We've been blessed to have a great Support/Comms group since we began in 2007.  Since that time, our Support/Comms team has received some and/or all of the following training:

​

  • Ham Radio Training

  • Managing the Inland Search Function/Managing Land Search Ops

  • All Hazards IMT

  • ICS 300

  • ICS 400 (coming this fall)

  • Wide Area Search (Teex)

  • NASAR FUNSAR and/or ERI SARFUN

​

Above are just a few of the key trainings our Support Staff have undertaken.  Some of our Support Staff also serve other roles (ground, drone, etc) based on the callout and the most immediate need(s).  Below is a list of our Support Staff with members who have been spotlighted in the past hyperlinked.

 

EMR - Emergency Medical Responder

SARFUN - Search and Rescue Fundamentals

MISF- Managing the Inland Search Function

MLSO - Managing Land Search Operations
