Merchandise Description
The Introduction to Search and Rescue (ISAR) text provides the reader with awareness to ground search and rescue for the first responder (i.e., police, firefighters, EMS, and CERT). Completely updated and revised, this Second Edition reflects greater emphasis on the initial phase of the SAR incident including gathering information to determine the urgency of response by SAR personnel and the first priorities to properly manage the opening phase of SAR incidents. The newly revised ISAR manual discusses the following topics: Incident Command System, introduction to basic navigation, search and rescue resources, search philosophy, search tactics, clue consciousness, search operations, lost person behavior. The ISAR manual is designed to provide the basic level of SAR knowledge needed by all persons involved in the early phase of SAR operations. This text book is for the ISAR course and prepares for the SARTECH III Certification.
