:: Course Goal
The goal of this course is to provide
participants with the tools and knowledge necessary to successfully look
in the right place, understand lost person behavior, apply statistical
tables, identify needed special investigation, and deploy resources in
the field. Participants should also be able to brief other
searchers on key components of lost person behavior. Everyone needs to
know where to look from the field searcher to search management. The
course makes extensive use of real-life examples, with over 33 map
problems and field exercises during the two-day version of the course.
:: Learning Objectives
Upon successfully completing this course,
participants will be able to:
Describe key developments in the filed
of lost person behavior
Describe how the ISRID database is
organized to best predict behavior.
Demonstrate the ability to determine
subject category given a scenario.
Judge different methods to combine
different subject categories
Explain different causes of becoming
lost and different strategies used.
Demonstrate ability to identify
decision maps on map and in the field.
Describe common misconceptions of lost
person behavior.
Use correct statistical data from
ISRID to model likely location
Demonstrate the use of reflex tasking
to generate planned tasks
Describe key points for each subject
category profile
Demonstrate ability to deploy
resources for each subject category
:: Target Audience
This applied training session is
intended for public safety responders involved in search and rescue.
:: Prerequisite
The course has no prerequisites. Those
with a search and rescue background will get the maximum benefit from
the course. It can serve as a useful bridge between field and
management.
