Our Services
If you need something we don’t list below, we can most likely help. JUST ASK!
Mapping and
Segmentation
On your way to a search or heading into the next Operational Period? Need help getting the areas delineated and segmented? We can establish the map, provide a shareable link and QR code for SARTOPO, place Koester-based range rings, draw hasty tasks, and or segment areas.
Task Writing and
Form Preparation
We can prepare tasks using ICS 204 form, with individual task maps.
OR
We can prepare tasks and maps using same Form 204, but emails you the PDFs.
Clue Analysis
There are 127 dropped markers on your map, and you don’t have time to figure out what is relevant or what the patterns may be?
We can clean that up for you, rename markers, and move to them to different files with different levels of analyzed relevancy within SARTOPO. Keep your map tidy and your brain from overloading.
Resource Allocation
Have 300 community volunteers coming tomorrow and don’t know what to do with them? Need help calling around to find warming/colling stations or other resources?
Planning Consulation
We believe in working through a search with other experienced search managers. We can all get tired, fall into confirmation bias, and any number of other traps that can hinder a search. On our own searches, we discuss the evolving situation with other SMs, and we are happy to do the same with you.
Development of Search Objectives and Strategies
While many search subjects are quickly found by reflex tasks in the first operational period, longer searches may start to run into more significant manpower limitations as the search area expands. We’re trained to generate and analyze search scenarios, and then develop search strategies to best make use of the the resources available.
