I have trained with regular search and rescue teams on the county sherrif's office and state level. I'm an authorized incident command, hazmat, cpr, first aid and disaster instructor from FEMA, Red Cross, and other orgs. I work a little with dive, dog, and mounted teams.
 
I base out of Minneapolis, Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte and San Francisco but travel nationwide as well.

To recap recent requests for information about training opportunities:

Joan Pottinger, per her intro here a while ago, is in the Louisville
KY area. I have never heard of any MSAR units existing in Kentucky.

Natalie Perry is in northern Indiana. There are several MSAR units in
Indiana (http://www.ibiblio.org/msar/units/#Indiana) that may be able
to provide good leads.

Gail is in Atlanta and north Georgia. North GA Mounted Patrol offers
training (I don't know in what) and a certification (ditto). A 2004
press release from the governor's office announces the formation of 3
"heavy" urban search and rescue units, hosted in fire departments:
http://www.gov.state.ga.us/press/2004/press358.shtml . That is of
little interest except that it mentions no existing state agency for
search and rescue.

Not that I am aware of. And a quick web search doesn't return evidence
of this either. Are you thinking of GEMA? They license organizations
but looking through their website I would say they don't consider search
and rescue within their scope except in the context of a large scale
disaster / emergency situation.
