I was hit last weekend by a guy who ran a stop sign doing 45. The hit spun me twice. The back left wheel is bent in, axle bowed, and frame bent. The week before just got a new windshield installed. [Taps is playing…]

I took a dive into Canada’s NIF from the perspective of global SAR; more countries should be this innovative!

Hey, r/Survival,

We wanted to take a moment to introduce two resources that exist specifically to serve the search and rescue community — and to invite you to check them out, get involved, or just bookmark them for later.

IASARC — International Association of Search and Rescue Coordinators

IASARC (https://iasarc.org) is a professional non-profit organization dedicated to supporting SAR coordinators, team leaders, and practitioners around the world. The mission is straightforward: connect SAR professionals (land, sea, and air), share best practices, and elevate the standards of search and rescue operations globally.

Whether you're a seasoned coordinator or newer to the field, IASARC offers a community of like-minded professionals who are passionate about doing this work well.

SAR Times — News & Information for the SAR Community

SAR Times (https://sartimes.com) is an online publication/newsletter (pushes on Thursdays) covering news, stories, and developments relevant to the search and rescue world. Think of it as your go-to source for staying current on what's happening across the SAR landscape — cases, policy, tech, training, and more.

We'd love to connect with the folks here. This subreddit has always been a great grassroots community, and we see a lot of overlap with what both of these organizations are trying to do.

Feel free to ask questions, share feedback, or just say hi. We're here to be a resource, not just a bulletin board.

Stay safe out there. 🧭
