Jan,

I have a 1-hour MSAR PowerPoint presentation that explains MSAR 
operations for Virginia and Maryland that was modified for use by the 
TROTSAR Mounted Team.  

I believe the presentation should be useful since our deployment 
oversight comes from two different State governments.  As an example; 
the Virginia Department of Emergency Management is responsible for the 
oversight of search operations for the Commonwealth; in Maryland, the 
Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police is authority that 
registers SAR Team for State Level SAR response, with the MD State 
Police being vested with SAR oversight.  

The presentation was originally created for a joint project between the 
Commonwealth Search and Rescue Team's Mount Unit and the TROTSAR Mounted 
Team for a co-hosted MSAR Presentation at the 2007 Virginia SAR 
Conference held in Richmond, VA.  However, after the conference we 
modified the presentation to make it more specific to reflect our team's 
mission since we are the only MSAR resource that holds state level MOU's 
and have been approved as a MSAR response resource for both Maryland and 
Virginia.

If you think the presentation would be helpful, I can email you copy of 
the file.

Ride Safe,

T'mi
