It was always a little surprising to me how little information on search and rescue was available on the internet. Of course nothing replaces good quality training, but some of the most enlightening training sessions I have ever taken part in have been run by organisations other than my own. Different teams and different teachers always have a different way of looking at things.

So where are the places out there on the internet that foster this cross team thinking about the problems we have in search and rescue. They do exist and there are some fascinating and enlightening discussions on email lists, but if you are not on the list you miss the chat. I wanted to create a site that allowed some cross discipline and cross team discussion on the issues that we face in Search and Rescue and to make that chat available for everyone to see.

I don’t want to this site to replace good quality training or face to face discussion. It is not a money making project and I don’t want to replace the email lists, it is just a place where rescue workers can discuss the problems and find solutions so that the knowledge we have can be passed around the world and down the generations.

I hope you like the site and please get in touch if you have any comments or improvements you would like for the site.
