<http://64.207.134.26/usr
This course is divided into three modules.
Module 1 - SAR Organization - provides familiarity with the overall
Search and Rescue system, roles and responsibilities within, legal
implications, and public affairs. It is based on real life SAR cases
and will require you to make judgments on the given facts.
Module 2 - SAR Planning - involves the application of skills and
knowledge of SAR planning. You will be required to use the information
on the execution of a search and rescue case, including communications,
search patterns, and environmental effects. It will present SAR cases
and will require you to take actions.
Module 3 - SAR Coordination and Execution - involves the coordination
and execution of a search and rescue case. It provides examples of SAR
cases that present information related to the duties of the On Scene
Coordinator with the progression of actual SAR scenarios. These
scenarios will lead to a final SAR exercise. You will be asked to
respond to these situations by providing the most appropriate actions to
be taken. The SAR exercise will help prepare you for final exam.
