  • Play video
  • Is that wat you think a search would be like?
  • Actors are real SAR people doing their normal roles.
  • Math
  • What do you think happened?
  • What roles did you see SAR volunteers doing
  • people
    • Grandfather: Jim Cradock
    • Grandson: Mike Hogan
    • Agency Executive: Barry

What were the 4 phases of a search?

(discussed in introductory section)


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

or

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

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



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



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

Notification of individual searchers

  • PCSAR DOC-67 Emergency Call Out Procedure
  • use of call-out personnel
    • personal phone call in the middle of the night
    • adopting automated telephone system
  • list of basic information searchers should get

Rare occassions not tasked

  • give 1 example



Strategy

    • PCSAR DOC-1 Search Urgency
  • Priority of the mission

  • Check out (Sign-Out)



Check-in

  • May be verbal, although PC SAR requires physical sign in.

  • Administration
  • Communications

Pincher SAR radio "5-codes"


2. info you should receive, if not ask.

  • physical & mental cond., behavior traits, circumstances.
  • Clue considerations, shoe, items carried, and how to handle them if found.
  • Trip plans
  • Terrain
  • 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.

  • navigation

  • etc.

one person can have more than one responsibility



Debriefing

back side of DOC-61


The Planning Section Chief 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.



Check Out

  • PC SAR requires physical check-out on paper with time.



Suspension

  • decision process
  • demobilization
  • sign-out
  • safe travel
  • return to service


Individuals:

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