The general field for search and rescue are typically determined by the type of terrain the search is conducted and
primary responsibility of all participants in search and rescue operations. In this assignment I will talk about Search and Rescue. Search and rescue are two totally different activities. I will introduce search and Rescue through terminology and definitions with regards to national and international SAR theory and operations. I will focus on certain types of SAR teams that can be used for medical resources and qualifications in SA that can include rescue qualifications in SA. I will be evaluating
South Africa there is a wide variety of different search and rescue teams but we will be concentrating on WSAR and USAR. We will be looking at the skills and training required to compile a successful team. The team will depend on the size and terrain of where the rescues need to take place and the size of the team will also depend on these factors. The team size can vary from 6 members for a rescue mission up to 70 members for a search and rescue mission. Some places use teams of about 31 rescuers
following assignment I will be looking at the best way to establish a tactical search and rescue team. The goal of SAR is to locate, stabilize and extract people in distress. This can be a hiker on the side of a mountain, sailor lost at sea, trapped urban disaster survivor or an Alzheimer's patient wandering city streets. Each area of SAR employs techniques specific to the circumstance. To help you understand search and rescue better you should understand and know the following terminology and definitions
them even knowing it. Everyday Americans call people all around the country, watch television, and listen to the radio, but how do they think they do that? Almost always the answer is satellites. Satellites have impact America in weather, search and rescue programs, and in astronomy. When bad weather is approaching, satellites are the reason meteorologists are able to inform Americans so quickly about the weather. In the article “Hurricane: Tracking and Researching Hurricanes,” satellite images

I’m being told that there’s a boat that has capsized and is sinking with 10 people on board. With 2 of the people being kids. It’s my one and only chance to save innocent lives. It’s my duty to put others before myself and help people like I was
Search and Rescue Dogs By Sydney Conley, Veronica Bumgardner, Nirupama Poojari, Cameron Robinson, Heather Cole, Izabella Dunlap and Amira Ibrahim Did people know that dogs can often find humans better than the average human? “Dogs are amazing creatures, capable of so much more than many of us realize”. Search and rescue dogs are specially trained animals that work with rescue teams to locate missing people. Today people train search and rescue dogs to find people in the rubble after natural
then searching for someone in rubble from an explosion. Search and rescue handlers also need to have survival skills already set before becoming a search and rescue handler.

The objectives of this proposal is to establish why the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office would benefit from a K9 Unit. First and most importantly a K9 would aide in safeguarding our citizens. This would be achieved by an increase in drug seizers and arrest from our local streets and communities, tracking violent offenders, and potentially missing persons. Furthermore, a K9 would increase the safety of our deputies during the course of their duties. The K9 can also be utilized, build rapport with
German Shepherds at Work Have you ever wondered what German Shepherds do other than play fetch, eat, and sleep? Most people that own dogs teach them to sit, stay, come, and they also teach them to obey their owners. They are the family pets that sit on our laps all the time, bark at people when they come to the door, and chase the mailman in the summer when the family is outside. Work dogs have jobs such as being police dogs, military dogs, guide dogs, and herding dogs. The German shepherd breed
Intelligent mobile robots can be very helpful and efficient tools to speed up search and rescue operation. Rescue robots are also useful to do the job in situations that are dangerous for human rescuers. They can enter into gaps and move though small hole that difficult for human and even trained dog. This reduces the risk a human rescue team is exposed to and allows them to plan the rescue more effectively. A search and rescue robot has many features. Most important features from this robot is equip
preparing their families, neighbors, and coworkers for the threat of a disaster. CERT program participants become familiar with disaster preparedness, fire safety, hazardous chemical awareness, disaster medical operations, terroristic threats, and search and rescue procedures. Following the completion of this course and along with hands-on class room course experience the CERT participants will be valuable aids to professionals during a disaster (CERT Training Manual, 2011). Disaster Preparedness is a
INTRODUCTION Medical rescue is an access and release of a person requiring or who may require medical attention, treatment from a confined position, from a position of entrapment or other situations which threatens the health of an individual or the community. A medical rescue worker is part of the team of first responds at an accident disaster where they bravely assist those in need, whilst compromising situation such as car wreckage. CHARACTERISTICS OF A RESCUE WORKER • Effective
they are the first ones to put their life on the line and go in against the armed suspect. When it comes to criminal activity, these dogs are often taught to detect various crime scene evidence such as different types of drugs and explosives. Search and rescue dogs can be trained to find living victims and the remains of deceased humans. The dog’s ability to cover a large area in a relatively short amount of time provides a great resource when searching for lost victims. This is important because without
deployed in search and rescue mission to save countless life and of course under the circumstance their well being are put on high risk and expose to danger. Hence, the robot are build to replace human when it comes to difficult task and involving in critical situation neither human or tools can do. They are variety types of robot are build to do the different tasks depends on their specialty. For example the search and rescue (SAR) robot are designed to assist human to search and rescue victims in
smoke was coming from the roof of the structure. The first alarm was struck at 1815 hours. Responding on the first alarm were Engines 1, 6, 12, and 13, along with Ladders 1 and 5, Rescue 1, and Car 3. Engine 1 was first to arrive on the scene at 1816 hours and reported heavy smoke showing. Units were assigned to search the building for victims and locate the fire. At 1819 hours, car 3 arrived on scene and assumed command (IC#1) and requested a second alarm be struck due to the size of the building
Intelligence Search and Rescue Robots Introductions and overview of the system Intelligence Search and Rescue Robots is a domain where robots can make difference for assisting the rescuers covers a large part of the robotic and artificial intelligence research themes. For example, robots may be able to enter disaster sites which are too difficult or too dangerous for humans to get into. Once there, robots can gather information about the situation, providing human operators with video feeds, maps
is the Rescue dog. These are the dogs that go on search and rescue missions during traumatic incidents such as: earthquakes, avalanches, floods, fire, and many more situations. Some experts and professionals say that one search and rescue dog can accomplish the work of 20 to 30 people. According to How Stuff Works, when dogs are searching for a person in an avalanche, the person's chances of surviving increase exponentially compared to human searchers. These dogs used in search and rescue are usually
the search and rescue following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. No one knows exactly how many were in New York, but estimates state about 900 were there. At Ground Zero, the dogs worked every day to help in search and rescue for 10 days. They had day and night shifts bettwing 12 to 16 hours searching for survivors and human remains under the rubble while comforting victims and rescue workers. Out of all the dogs that helped out on that day there is still one known living search and rescue
becoming more popular among consumers but also with law enforcement, by including them to the work force, Drones have many beneficial uses by assisting law enforcement to fight crimes and processing accident photographs scenes as well as in search and rescue missions. Involving UAV’s in crime cases it simplifies the job for policemen to fight crime. The article “Eyes in the Sky and Privacy Concerns on the Ground” by Hillary B. Farber states, “Pervasive unmanned aerial surveillance enables users
