PURPOSE

Lake County Emergency Management has established a Search and Rescue program. The program is a volunteer based program that is open to both men and women over the age of 18. All participants must be in good physical condition.

Training requirements consist of both “In House” when trainers are available and selected resident training when justifiable. Training requires approval by the members and consideration by the governing body. Training will consist of, among others, Water Rescue and Recovery, Vehicle Extrication, Search Techniques, Treatment of Medical Emergencies such as Hypothermia, CPR, AED, etc.

The Search and Rescue Team will serve at the convenience of Lake County Board of Commissioners and the Lake County Emergency Management, to help ensure the protection of life and property.
