SUMMARY:Wide Area Search
DESCRIPTION:This 3-day course will be taught by the Texas A&M TEEX Program and held in Brunswick\, Georgia. \n\n\n\nWhen disaster strikes it can be a challenge to effectively mobilize\, organize\, and deploy resources needed to perform search and rescue operations. The purpose of this course is to prepare participants to support a large search and rescue incident in a variety of roles ranging from searchers in the field\, planning and support staff\, and incident command. While built around the model of a large search and rescue event following a disaster\, the course content applies to a vast number of critical situations including missing persons searches\, natural disasters\, terrorist incidents\, and other scenarios. \n\n\n\nThis course exposes participants to a search management system focused on resource management and search documentation designed to conduct search operations efficiently and effectively. The instructor cadre will lead participants through facilitated discussions\, table-top exercises\, and hands-on activities in practical search skills and search management based on real world scenarios. The three-day long event concludes with a table-top exercise which requires participants to utilize the skills gained during the course to work through an incident from start to finish in a single operational period. \n\n\n\nThe instructor cadre are experienced search and rescue team members from the Federal Urban Search and Rescue System (FEMA US&R)\, State\, municipal\, and Volunteer teams. They bring a wealth of experience gained responding to some of nation’s largest and most challenging operations. \n\n\n\nMore information and registration (to register\, follow this link and look for the course offered in Brunswick beginning June 20): https://teex.org/class/PER213/
