Mounted search and rescue

["T'mi Finkle" <tfinkle@erols.com>]

All,

 

Please know that ASTM International’s F-2794-09 “Standard Guide for Level 1 (Basic) Mounted Search and Rescue (MSAR) Responder” will be available for purchase within the next few weeks.  ASTM editors completed their review/modifications and sent the document for publishing yesterday (22 December 2009).  This is a major milestone for MSAR responders everywhere who desire professional standards for reference or adoption.  The standard is copyrighted by ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States. Individual reprints (single or multiple copies) of this standard may be obtained by contacting ASTM at the above address or at 610-832-9585 (phone), 610-832-9555 (fax), or service@astm.org (e-mail); or through the ASTM website (www.astm.org).

 

The MSAR Responder draft document was introduced to ASTM International via the F-32.02 (Search and Rescue) work group WK12984 earlier this year.   T’mi was assigned as the WK-12984 TPOC of the document; Jorene and Irv served as (WK-12984) participants/members throughout the ASTM balloting and collaboration processes for this standard.   All together there were almost a dozen search and rescue professionals (from various applications) who were involved with the collaboration process.
