Workshops &
Clinics: Effective Use of Mounted SAR
The
most frequently requested workshop is commonly one day,
including an arena overview with hands-on, and PowerPoint
classroom training.
Designed for combined participation of SAR and Disaster
Management, Mounted SAR units, and non-mounted SAR resources.
Recommended for operational areas and their mutual aid region
(optional) so management and resources are on the same page with
increased effectiveness. More information
here.
Clinics and workshops
can be limited to a few hours, expanded to additional days, be
modified for classroom only, focus more specifically on mounted
as a disaster resource, etc. Adapted for local application.
