Mounted search and rescue

["Finkle, Tomi <CTR>" <Tomi.Finkle@associates.dhs.gov>]

Wonderful News!  Search teams went into action before day break and have
just found the missing teen alive and well (Status I find). All SAR
responders are heading home as this email is written


PS: Una, your State rocks too when it comes to SAR response! Yes you are
100% on the mark; lives are saved when local and state resources can be
dispatched and deployed ASAP.

Good luck.

After the last big VA search, the one Tomi mentioned here, someone
on another SAR list, who I believe is in a western state, marveled
at how VA can not only issue a statewide call for responders but
also get a fast response.  I had to sit on my hands, so as not to
embarrass the poster by saying it works that way in New Mexico too,
but it doesn't just happen.
