A man with Alzheimer's wanders away from home, a hunter or hiker is missing, a group of school children is stranded in a flood...  Search and rescue is a life-saving vocation. And the ability to save a life is often dependent upon how quickly the person can be found and accessed.  If the missing person is one of your loved ones, you will expect well-equipped, well-trained search and rescue professionals to bring your loved one home safely to you.  The National Association for Search and Rescue (NASAR) has dedicated itself to preparing those involved in search and rescue to meet your expectations.
