I just had seen your Atlanta piece and was interested to say hi anyway. :)
 
How many people? I don't know. CPR classes are around 10 before another instructor needs to be added.
 
I'll be around Atlanta, all through Nov and December. It'd be nice if I could dovetail in with an existing meeting, or training so the room rental is covered. Although I think I have a place in Dekalb that would work. It'd be great as part of a training with other sessions.
 
What I'm working on doing is a whole weekend package:
 
CPR refresher
First aid,
ICS 100/200, (I will have other levels shortly I think).
Search and Rescue skills: I have taught scene safety, tracking, kit supplies and medical, and medical scenarios for a state team.
 
I also teach hazmat and wmd awareness and am still getting the paperwork together on those to be able to give out certificates. But I could still do a session.
 
The price? That's a little flexible. I don't know if there is any budget, but many orgs. don't have much. There's a few different ways. Trainers often make $500-1000 for the day. Or the org sponsors the trainer. Or the people pay for their own training. Or it can be a fundraiser for the organization, the students pay full retail on the classes and the instructor is just given a flat day rate.
 
Each person would usually pay $50-75 just for that. To rent the cpr dummies from the Red Cross is $15 each. That's the only real fixed cost and their certificate fee $5.
 
Thanks.

Michelle,
How many folks would we need to setup a middle GA , or North GA MSAR   team for training and when would you be available to Train .  Also, what would be the cost associated for the training.

-------------- Original message from Michelle Cadieux <mcadieux2007@yahoo.com>: --------------

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.
