Should we be “Clearing” areas in vulnerable missing person search?

Missing Person Behaviour Presentation to Berkshire Search and Rescue Dogs

Berkshire Search and Rescue Dogs kindly asked me along to give a presentation on missing person behaviour on Tuesday night.

As part of this presentation I briefly discussed how survivability data helps prove search is an emergency. And, of course, if you accept that time is a critical feature in your search plan, you have to consider the possibility that “clearing” search areas is not an effective use of search resources in many cases.

Here is the PowerPoint presentation -

I’d like to thank BSARD for both their invitation and their warm welcome. I’d also like to thank Jo Joslyn for the lovely letter of thanks.

Search and Rescue Dogs Forum

October 6th, 2009

Whilst I am posted related links, I had better make a plug for the Search and Rescue Dogs Forum, run by Daryl Toogood from Berkshire Search and Rescue Dogs.

The forum is the place to discuss lowland search dogs use in the UK. If you have any questions about how to use these valauable resources, want to know what the standards are and so on – this is where you want to go.

With sections on Training, Callouts, Kit & Equipment, Standards and lots more, it is well worth a visit.
