What are the steps needed to register with the state?  I understand it would vary, but is our local Emergency Manager the place to start?  I assume that mounted Sherriff's posse units are already registered, but let me know if not. 
 
Would also being affiliated with another organization such as Civil Air Patrol be helpful since most of their members have been trained on Emergency services procedures, ground team work, and NIMS for starters.  Thanks!  Dana

According to the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) and the Virginia Search and Rescue Council (VASARCO) the only two (2) MSAR Teams currently registered within the State: 1) Commonwealth Search and Rescue MSAR Troop and 2) TROTSAR Mounted Team Inc.   As a member of the VASARCO MSAR Standards Committee, I do not know of any MSAR Team that has recently applied with VASARCO.

 The VDEM SAR Program relies upon the trained, volunteer search and rescue groups to respond to various requests for services. Follow the link provided for organizations that are full members of the SAR council and hold a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the VDEM SAR Office. <http://www.vdem.state.va.us/programs/sar/sarorgs.cfm>

Ride Safe,
