  1. Search and Rescue • Search: To locate persons in distress • Rescue: To retrieve persons in distress, provide for their initial medical or other needs, deliver them to a place of safety and get your teams out safely. • Search is often the more time-consuming task: • Where to look? • What resources to use? • How long do you look? • How to best keep track of your resources.

  2. “What hampers me as a searcher is that I don't think like a lost person (well, mostly ...). Maybe one (two?!?) out of 10 times have I looked at a map, waved my divining rod over it and said: "There!" and been anywhere close to right. Each SAR is like learning all something new each time. So the priority tools (and tech devices), for me, would be those which contribute to better organizing and visualizing the SAR and the terrain.”

  3. GIS & MapSAR Significantly Enhances Situational Awareness And Provides a Common Operating Picture

  7. Pre-planning: MapSAR Structure and MED

  8. 3D Image (ArcGIS Explorer or ArcGlobe): Effective Visualization of terrain for teams and Incident Command

  9. Used with GIS Server, Greatly Enhanced Common Operating Picture

  10. Using GIS in SAR: The Map is Not the Territory

  11. Understand the mapping software you use. Practice with different types of coordinate systems and converting between them.
