Mounted search and rescue

[Tm' Fi <tfinkle@erols.com>]

Jorene, I had forgot about the demo that we did in VA during the NASAR 
Conference.  One nice feature about that event, is it not only reached 
out to local search personnel, it was available to SAR folks from all 
across the Country.  As a voting NASAR search team, I should have added 
that to my earlier comments LOL.

Another program that both Jorene's team and my team have in common is 
introducing our members to the CERT Program.  Cross training in programs 
such as CERT and the expanding capabilities of an MSAR team is an 
excellent way to gain respect as a professional organization.  

I suggest that MSAR folks to visit the link Jorene provided 
<www.tk-cert.org>.  More CERT information can be found at  
<http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/CERT/> and if there is not CERT 
coordinator/program in your region, an online web based study program 
for introductory CERT (IS-317) can be taken by going to 
<http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/is317.asp>
