NASAR SARIA Course | Understanding Initial Actions - To Find Missing Persons | Search Management

Описание: A person is missing. The clock is ticking. What you do in the first 15 to 60 minutes can determine the success of the entire operation. But where do you begin?

This video is a comprehensive introduction to the "Initial Actions in Search and Rescue" (SAR-IA) course from the National Association for Search and Rescue (NASAR). It's the playbook for turning the chaos of a new mission into a structured, effective response. We explore the four critical pillars taught in the course:

The Science of Where: Establishing the Last Known Point (LKP) and performing a rapid size-up.
The Structure for Success: Using the Incident Command System (ICS) to build an organized team.
The First Moves: Implementing crucial tactics like containment and hasty searches.
The Foundation of Safety: Mastering risk assessment and operational briefings.

Whether you're an aspiring SAR volunteer, a current first responder (Police, Fire, EMS), or an emergency manager, this video shows you how the SAR-IA course provides the universal principles needed to act with confidence and purpose from the moment you arrive on scene.
