Georgia Emergency Management Agency (http://www.gema.state.ga.us/) has
a series of Field Delivered Program Courses, where they train on request
at a location near you. The course most relevant to SAR is this one:

>in the basics of rescue techniques. The course covers unit organization,
>search and rescue techniques (ground and water), map and compass
>reading, and basic rope tying and knots.

>Council for continuing education credit hours.
>
>Who Should Attend: Individuals who wish to qualify for membership in a
>legally established rescue organization or members of an emergency
>services organization who wish to enhance their search and rescue
>techniques.

Hope this helps,
