INTRODUCTION
Saving human life is the 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 advantages and limitations in the SAR capabilities & compositions of combined search and rescue teams for logistical planning in a typical EMS system. I will include techniques that have to apply in search and rescue the South Africa context and the balance of qualifications and rescue qualifications in the SAR and Emergency Medical Service.
Introduction of SAR through terminology and definitions with regards to national and international SAR theory and operations
Search and rescue are two totally different activities. SAR is comprised of search functions and rescue functions. This is an important point not only because of differences in skills and resources involved between these two types of operations but sometimes due to differences in responsibilities, jurisdictions and legal aspects.
Search: is to identify and locate persons who are/ may become distressed or injured and who are unable to return to a place of safety on their own. Search operations may occur in wilderness or maritime environment.
Rescue: is to access, stabilize and evacuate distressed or injured persons by whatever means necessary to ensure their timely transfer to appropriate care or familiar environment. (Virginia ...

CONCLUSION
Search and rescue are two totally different activities. Search and Rescue is team work. Communication is more vital during SAR incident and the planning. After the incident search and rescue unit should be returned to a location where they are debriefed, refueled, replenished, and prepared for other activities and completion of all required documentation. Search and rescue demands critical thinking. SAR team personnel should be well trained and qualified.

Support of this nature is characterized by fewer casualties, decentralized operations, unsecured evacuation routes, long distances for evacuation, an increased reliance on convoys & air ambulances, and higher incidences of communications difficulties. Defensive tasks include mobile defense, area defense and retrograde. In mobile defense, allocation of medical support is made more difficult from the increase in the area supported. It is characterized by fluid lines of communication and medical evacuation, the concentration of casualties at decisive points, and the likelihood of wounded enemy. With area defense, the likelihood of a mass casualty situation is increased. The dynamics of the defense, and the enemy offense requires medical evacuation to be more rapid. With retrograde, medical support must tier their movements to maintain adequate support to the maneuver force. It is imperative to maintain proximity, as medical evacuation requirements are especially

The Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) started after the 9/11 to prevent any more terroroist attacks. After 9/11 the U.S. has beem more strict with Suspicious things happening in places it shouldn't be. Such as taking pictures of government buldings, exits routes, vantage points to kill/destroy something,etc... The SAR is used to protect our nation without it we would be in Chaos. The use of suspicious Activity Reports provides a valuable resource on a potentially criminal behaviors which has helped to keep this country safe over the past 10 years.
If people do not continue to rescue people a lot of death of innocent people would stop. Knowing rescue services will not be given a lot of people would not try to conquer Mount Everest. 240 million calls are made to rescue services every year for everything from car crashes to break-ins. There is a difference in wanting rescue services and needing rescue services. You need help if you get into a car crash. You have to drive to work or school, you do not need to climb a

There are numerous accounts of the successful gathering of Signal Intelligence that prove to be of use. The rapid advancements in microelectronic technology forces the government to design and manufacture sophisticated new radars, airborne reconnaissance, and surveillance platforms; they offer superior capabilities over previously employed systems. Having accredited systems and networks, in accordance with Department of Defense guidance, will ensure that units are within regulations while collecting signals. To obtain the most beneficial information, analysts need to be properly trained in the latest and greatest data sets. Staffing 100% qualified personnel in strategic locations will lead to optimal performance in signals analysis; commanders should provide the capability of target redundancy with different forms to ensure that collection requirements are met. Lastly, understanding commander’s intent and the focus of effort are critical ingredients for success.
Rescuers are in grave danger while rescuing others from it. People are in great disagreement about this issue. Some want rescuers to save people off of Everest, and some people want the rescuers to stay safe, because whoever took that risk new them. People (should/should not)have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk because there is danger for the rescuers, the people being rescued should be prepared, and you can usually only take 1 person at a time while rescuing.
The goals include increasing nurses’ awareness of their roles and responsibilities in preparing for and responding to a disaster. There are web-based courses available for professionals who are not necessarily planning to deploy to a disaster site but working in hospitals, schools or long-term care settings. These individuals could help with the long-range planning of patients involved in a disaster. The course is designed to protect the nurse and the public through the use of universal precautions, protective equipment, evidence collection and isolation precautions. These are areas that the emergency nurse may not consider when volunteering on the front line of a disaster (Stokowski, 2012). Other areas of the course include how to prepare for a disaster, who to notify when an event is unfolding, the assessment, diagnosing and treating of injuries and illnesses, incorporating clinical judgment skills, and supporting the community after the disaster (Orr,
In the early stage of sonar technology development, Sonar can be more accurate described as echo locate. Generally, the sonar system propagates acoustic signal and the echo is detected. By processing and calculating the received data, the distance from the transmitter and the object detected reached.
EMT and Paramedics have an important job in saving lives of millions of people. As part of their job they must respond to 9-11 calls in cases of emergencies, such as emergency medical assistance like (CPR) cardiopulmonary resuscitation, bandaging a wound, or if a someone needs to be rushed to an Hospital for immediate care. An EMT/Paramedic must transport a patient safely while one drives an ambulance and another keeps check of the patient’s vital sign and additional care, but if a patient is critically ill or injured they need to be transported by helicopter. Also to transport a patient to another medical facility for certain treatment that the facility specializes in or long-term care like Nursing homes. In this job field there are three levels of EMTs and Paramedics. First is EMT or EMT-Basic in which they access
Within the Emergency Management sector there is a constant evolution of the strategies, operations, and tactics used to address the hazards a community could be exposed to. This constant evolution can be achieved through training and exercise plans. The purpose and role of exercises in Emergency Management is to test and review emergency disaster plans prior its use in a emergency situation. The benefits managing an exercise program with in the community is it: (1) tests and validates policies, plans, procedures, training, and resources of stakeholders involved in emergency management operations; (2) identifies the capabilities of the community to address response and recovery phases of Emergency Management; (3) improves inter-agency coordination and communications.
