Anthem Journal: Activities

Search and Rescue (SAR) teams aim to locate, stabilize, and extract individuals from dangerous situations in the outdoors. The majority of SAR teams consist of unpaid volunteers who dedicate their own time and funds for training and rescue missions. Each team has specific training requirements that volunteers must meet. Still, it is not uncommon for SAR volunteers to be certified EMTs and Wilderness First Responders.
