Una, your last e-mail asked what is new with MSAR groups. This is to
update you, my last e-mail was in the fall of 2009.
Yesterday our Morgan County MSAR group certified 15 volunteers in Health
Care Provider CPR. We will follow up in Feb with First Aid Training. We
have designated the 2nd Saturday of the month as our MSAR training dates and
have found trainers for despookig, obstacle, mock search, compass, GPS,
radio and other specialties we need to become proficient in.
We are under the direction and protection of our County Fire District.
They cover training costs, insurance and the technology we will need. At this
time we are very comfortable in this relationship but life experience has
taught me that we both will need to review it yearly.
We live in Central Missouri and our riders are a very competent outdoor
people, each of them have spent time and effort into preparing and purchasing
the equipment they will need for MSAR. Each rider is prepared to serve in
base support or as a ground pounder if needed. We have a logo and our
guideline manual is being processed, we organized in November of 2009 and are
clarifying guidelines as we go.
The simple fact is that yesterday 15 people in our county were CPR
certified and this is a great asset to our community. One of those trained
yesterday may save a life at Walmart! Who knows where knowledge will be used. I
believe that this is the strength of MSAR and SAR - it is not always the
big search but the private personal knowledge that gives back and keeps on
giving.
Thanks to all of you who have experience and are willing to guide us.
