What were the 4 phases of a search?
: ''(discussed in introductory section)''

* L - Locate
* A - Access
* S - Stabalize
* T - Transport

* S - Search
* A - Access
* M - Medical
* E - Evacuate

''discuss how those phases were (or weren't) seen in the video''

{{lesson slide||}}
Being ready for a search

Before the searchers can arrive what needs to happen?

''lead group in discussion that draws out these components of search:''

Strategy - determine what needs to be done

preceeded by

Notification - group being alerted to situation

preceeded by

Preplan - planning for a possible incident, preparing people and equipment

{{lesson slide||}}
What happens after the search?

''lead group in discussion that draws out these components of search:''

Suspension - decision to end the search, demobilization

So what if you found you didn't have the right equipment? Weren't prepared?

Fix it ''(feed back loop)''

How would you know all the things needing fixing?

Critique - gathering lessons learned

The SAR event cycle

* ''SAR Fund Slide - Basic SAR 6''

''draw or show the complete cycle, discuss''

{{lesson slide||}}
Preplan (Planning/Preparation)

* Most of the work of a SAR organization

* Identifying needs

* Training (like this course), practicing

* Fund raising for equipment

Searcher Preplan

Inner cycle:

* Check in (Sign-In)

* Briefing

* Assignment

* Debriefing

* Check out (Sign-Out)

{{lesson slide||}}
Check-in      
* May be verbal, although PC SAR requires physical sign in. 
* When and where you check in, is when you find out where to go  i.e., debriefing etc.

Components of a briefing: SMEAC
* Situation
* Mission
* Execution
* Administration
* Communications

Pincher SAR radio "5-codes"

2.  info you should receive, if not ask. 
* Status, objectives, strategies, predictions

* Weather (should have found this out during call-out). 
* Equipment needed by you, other than SAR Pack. 
* Comm., details 
* Drop dead time. (return to base)
* Transport, how are you getting to your search area? 
* External influences. 
* Tactical details- search techniques. 
* Mgmt., overview

{{lesson slide||}}
Assignment

Each individual and each team has certain responsibilities.  All of 
these need to be decided before you go into the field.
* team leader
* radio

* first aid
* etc.
one person can have more than one responsibility

{{lesson slide||}}
Debriefing

''back side of DOC-61''

The planning officer is in charge of seeing the debriefing is 
done correctly.

The team leader may debrief his team first then be debriefed

The debriefing should be done in writing & with verbal.

The Team is responsible for: 
* Explicit descriptions of the areas covered and activities. 
* Estimate of POD is required.  ( must know how to calculate) 
* Difficulties with the search. 
* Hazards 
* Suggestions. 
* Feel free to use any method of relaying the proper info. 
* The info you provide is very important to setting up the next search area's, POA, POD, and POS.

{{lesson slide||}}
Check Out 
* PC SAR requires physical check-out on paper with time.

{{lesson slide||}}
Suspension

* decision process

* ''[[PCSAR DOC-74 Search Incident Demobilization / Post Mission Plan]]''

* demobilization

* sign-out

* safe travel

* return to service

Individuals:
* Are you ready to go into the field again, and if not how long?
