Rescue 101 SAR, Inc. Volunteer search, rescue & disaster response organization serving communities when it matters most. Search • Rescue • Respond • Recover • Serve.

Rescue 101 SAR, Inc. is a volunteer-based search, rescue, disaster response, and emergency services organization committed to serving individuals, families, public safety agencies, and communities when they need help most. Our personnel train and operate across a variety of disciplines, providing specialized capabilities for Wilderness Search, Rescue & Recovery; Urban Search and Rescue; Disaster Response & Recovery; Incident Management Team (IMT) support; Event Medical Services; and Public Education & Outreach Programs. From searching remote terrain for a missing person to supporting communities impacted by severe weather and disasters, our mission is centered on preparedness, teamwork, professionalism, and service. We work alongside emergency management agencies, fire departments, law enforcement, EMS, nonprofit organizations, and other response partners to provide additional personnel, resources, and specialized capabilities during planned events and emergency operations. Our Incident Management Team provides command, coordination, planning, logistics, and operational support for searches, disasters, special events, and other complex incidents. Our Search and Rescue teams respond to incidents involving missing, lost, endangered, or injured persons in wilderness, rural, urban, and disaster environments. When circumstances require it, our personnel also support recovery operations with compassion, professionalism, and respect for the individuals and families involved. During disasters, Rescue 101 SAR can deploy trained personnel and specialized resources to assist affected communities with response and recovery operations. Our goal is to help fill critical needs, support local agencies, and bring capable resources where they can make the greatest difference. Through our Event Medical Services, trained medical personnel provide on-site medical coverage and emergency care for community events, festivals, races, public gatherings, and other special events. Our mission also extends beyond emergency response. Through Public Education and Outreach, we work to help individuals and communities become safer, better prepared, and more resilient through preparedness education, safety programs, demonstrations, community events, and public engagement. Rescue 101 SAR is built around a simple commitment: when the call comes, we stand ready to serve.

🍂🥾 A great fall hike starts before you reach the trail.

Before heading out to enjoy the autumn scenery, take a few minutes to prepare:

🗺️ Plan your route. Choose a trail that matches your group’s abilities and check for closures or alerts.

🌦️ Check the forecast. Bring clothing and gear suited to the conditions, and be willing to change your plans.

📍 Tell someone you trust. Share your route and expected return time with someone staying behind. Agree on when they should contact authorities if you’re overdue.

🎒 Carry the essentials. Pack the Ten Essentials for your outing, and know how to use your gear. Your phone is helpful, but it isn’t a substitute for emergency supplies or a backup paper map.

✅ Check in when you return. Let your trusted contact know you’ve finished safely.

Rescue 101 Search and Rescue wants every outdoor adventure to end with a safe return.

👉 Swipe through, save this checklist, and share it with your hiking partners!

🇺🇸 Your voice matters. Your vote is one way to use it.

The American story is shaped by people who care enough to participate, neighbors who serve, communities that come together, and citizens who exercise their right to vote.

Generations of Americans have worked, served, and sacrificed to protect and expand that right. We honor their efforts by taking our own responsibility seriously: learning about the choices before us and casting an informed ballot.

At Rescue 101 Search and Rescue, we believe in showing up for our communities. Voting is another meaningful way to show up for the place you call home.
