Our Equipment
| GPS Units |
Our team currently has several handheld GPS units that we use for search and rescue. In addition, several of our team members also have their own GPS's. We are looking at acquiring several more units in the near future. |
| Mapping Software |
We use high definition topographic mapping software on our laptops. This software allows us to bring up both detailed street and topo maps of the areas being searched. We also plan to upgrade our software in the near future. |
| Printer-Scanner-Copier |
This unit allows us to print as many color detailed maps of the search area that are needed. We can make additional copies of any needed documents while out in the field and scan and print photos in color. |
| Handheld Radios |
All of our team members have their own portable radios. This allows us to communicate with each other in the field more efficiently during searches. We also have several extra radios for use by other agencies if needed. |
| Search and Rescue Packs |
Each of our team members has their own pack containing all of the necessary items that they will need while searching. In addition, several of our members carry extra gear, food/water and equipment that we may need while in the field. |
| Other Search and Rescue Gear |
Our team also has other equipment that we bring along with us to searches. This includes numerous orange vests for other searchers, hard hats, flashlights, marking tape, rope, glowsticks and our team first aid backpack. |
Note: Due to numerous factors, we can not guarantee all of the above equipment will be brought to every search.
