I forgot to respond to this post when it first appeared. Our team MSAR liability insurance for all team related activities including searches. In fact they even covered the Maryland 2004 SAREX the our team hosted last year. The firm will even write a letter to any AHJ advising of such coverage is in place and active. Finding a company that will write a policy for MSAR is very difficult to find.

Here is the firm and agent that we have. Just tell them you were referred by TROT-SAR.

Claud Gamble, Wiedey Assoc. Agency and our VFIS representative
work: 410-628-6529
email: waterc48@netzero.net


Cheers,

Hi Una.

Although this is not exactly like your situation, my university, for
example, allows filming at our campus plus other venues we run, such as
Palomar Observatory.

Anyway, we have an agreement that they sign, and one of the sections deals
with insurance: Yours should, of course, be pertinent to New Mexico, and not
California!

5. Insurance: The filmmaker or photographer must provide evidence have
secured adequate insurance coverage for their activities at Caltech at least
24 hours prior to the shoot.

A Certificate of Insurance naming the California Institute of Technology as
additionally insured for the day(s) of the shoot must be provided, as
follows and for not less than:

US $5 Million All feature /television productions US $3 Million All documentary productions US $1 Million All still photography productions
US $1 Million Tournament Park
US $5 Million Mt. Palomar
US $5 Million Owens Valley

The Certificate of Insurance must be from a California licensed insurance
carrier and the carrier's license must be current and in effect through the
filming. The address for the certificate should read: c/o Deborah White,
Public Events 332-92 for California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA
91125

I would think that if you were being contracted to perform some service for
an organization, they should provide a Certificate of Insurance naming (your
group) as additionally insured.

This is a query from the secretary/treasurer of my mounted
SAR unit, Santa Fe County Sheriff's Posse. Despite our name
we are not now affiliated with our county sheriff's office,
so our situation is that of an independent SAR unit typical
of the eastern US. Like many Posse units, we own property.

We have a liability policy but are concerned that it may in
fact not cover any of our activities.
