Search and Rescue Initial Actions (SARIA)

The Search and Rescue Initial Actions (SARIA) course is designed originally as a one-day training course and was designed for first responders such as law enforcement officers, fire officers, EMS officers, EMA personnel, and for trained SAR team members. We have adapted this course for a virtual format! It focuses on the critical initial steps and decision-making processes needed during the early stages of a search and rescue (SAR) operation, whether in urban or wilderness settings. The course equips participants with the skills to effectively manage SAR incidents from the onset until more specialized help arrives or the operation moves into additional operational periods. Key teachings include how to utilize and prepare maps, work with any available resources, employ the Lost Person Behavior teaching and statistics for strategic planning, establish containment, and efficiently prioritize and request appropriate resources with the goal of preventing the situation from escalating.

This course will include assignments that must be completed between sessions. These assignments are designed to reinforce the course content and to allow the participants to apply knowledge to simulated scenarios. The assignments will be completed utilizing google classroom.

Class Length: 16 Hours (Includes assignment time)
