This web sit will give you the state laws for each state regarding volunteer

liability. Just scroll down to your state.

 

On the homeland security issue, we provide our local county DES coordinator

a frequently updated list of the training each member of our SAR unit

has, we list each member and their phone no. and list medical training, wilderness

training, high angle rope rescue, swift water, ice rescue, mounted sar training, and

certified search dog handlers, IC training and any other relevant training in a chart

form so that it's easy for them to look at the appropriate category and go down

the list to see who is qualified to do what job.

 

This also serves as a way to keep in touch with our local disaster folks and keep

abreast of what is going on locally and statewide.
