SAR Tech III study guide question with answers
Lost Person Behavior (LPB) data provides search planners with general indications of
the following with the exception of - -How quickly they will be located by trained
searchers
-Clues and evidence should be - -reported and processed following AHJ SOGs and
properly documented and secured in a food grade plastic storage bag
-Smelling smoke from a campfire when looking for a pair of missing hikers or finding
a small toy during a search for a child are what type of clues? - -Physical
-Who is responsible for establishing a "safety first" mindset during search operations?
- -The Safety Officer
-The National SAR Committee (NSARC) is responsible for coordinating and improving
federal involvment in civil search and rescue. Its member agencies include the
following agences: - -The National Aeronautics and Space Administration
The Department of Defence
The Department of Interior
Federal Communications Commission
The Department of Commerce
-The LPQ, maps, statistical data, weather reports, theoretical and search data are
considered - -Planning Data
-Search planners use the subject behavioral profile for a number of reasons: - -
Determining search strategy
defining the search area
estimating resource needs
mapping the search area
briefing search teams
-A Search Urgency Form - -justifies the initial actions such as performing additional
investigation or calling out search resources
-POD Estimates, Map or Trail updates that might be needed, hazard areas not
included in the safety briefing, thoughts and impressions from the team members - -A
complete debriefing of a team when they return from a task is critical to
understanding how how well they were able to search their area. A good debriefing
should include all of the following.
-Notification of a search assignment to the search team, and notification of a search
assignment to the team members - -Notification of a search is separated into the
following categories
-Indirect - -a loose grid is what type of search tactic
, -direct them to the agency having jurisdiction - -when approached by the media,
searchers should
-Local law enforcement and OEM - -search and Rescue response at the local level is
coordinated by
-ideally a search segment should be - -easily identifiable on both a map and the
ground
-Experienced, Well Equipped, Highly Mobile, clue conscious, through - -Hasty or
efficient searchers
-The incident commander - -the general briefing is critical to creating a common
operational picture of the incident. This briefing is usually conducted by
-drive changes in training, equipment, material - -A thorough critique or After Action
Review is a critical component of all aspects of emergency response. A critique may
help managers
-In Service - -Resources at an incident will be one of the following
-Last Known Point (LKP) - -is defined as the last place the subject is verifiably known
to have been.
-Point Last Seen (PLS) - -the location at which someone can confirm that the subject
was visually identified.
-Initial Planning Point (IPP) - -is considered the starting point at which initial
assessment and decisions can be ascertained.
-Information - -items below are not a category of SAR resources
-201 - -On arrival the searcher should sign in using the ICS-_____ form.
-Air Scent Canines - -detect the scent of "human rafts" (dead human skin cells) as
they float through the air. These dogs generally do not discriminate from one scent
generator to another. These dogs are usually worked off lead. Air scent dogs are
extremely useful in
covering large areas, especially if no one has been in those areas.
-Tracking Canines - -are trained to follow a specific scent matching that of the scent
generator, such as from an article of clothing, bed sheets or pillowcases, etc. These
canines work on lead, and follow very closely on the trail of where the subject traveled,
regardless of wind.
-Police Canines - -are sometimes known as "tracking" and "sniff and bite" dogs. These
dogs will track criminal suspect footsteps based on crushed vegetation or the suspect's
adrenaline scent. These dogs are also trained to protect their handler from any
aggressive action by attacking and biting the aggressor. These dogs work both on and
