-
To give the participants enough training and experience (through table
tops) to conduct a search mission immediately using a "best practices"
standard operating procedure (SOP) 6 step process.
- Provide
an orientation on both Search and Rescue management concepts, with
emphasis on the basic concepts that will assist the participant in
the planning of the "initial response" operational period.
- Orientation
to the Incident Command System (ICS) and "initial response" procedures.
- Development
of an "initial response" SOP

| Objectives: |
|
Upon
completion, a participant should be able to:

the value of a SAR Hazard Vulnerability Assessment (HVA).
- List
components of an effective SAR program.
- Apply
incident management principles (use of ICS).
- Apply
the 6-step incident response process.
- Identify,
apply, discuss search management principles (essential fundamentals).
- Initiate
an effective and appropriate response to a missing person report.
