Una, your last e-mail asked what is new with MSAR groups. This
is to update you, my last e-mail was in the fall of 2009.
Yesterday our Morgan County MSAR group certified 15 volunteers in
Health Care Provider CPR. We will follow up in Feb with First Aid Training.
We have designated the 2nd Saturday of the month as our MSAR training dates and
have found trainers for despookig, obstacle, mock search, compass, GPS,
radio and other specialties we need to become proficient in.
We are under the direction and protection of our County
Fire District. They cover training costs, insurance and the technology we will
need. At this time we are very comfortable in this relationship
but life experience has taught me that we both will need to
review it yearly.
We live in Central Missouri and our riders are a very competent outdoor
people, each of them have spent time and effort into preparing and
purchasing the equipment they will need for MSAR. Each rider is prepared to
serve in base support or as a ground pounder if needed. We have a logo
and our guideline manual is being processed, we organized in November of
2009 and are clarifying guidelines as we go.
The simple fact is that yesterday 15 people in our county were CPR
certified and this is a great asset to our community. One of those
trained yesterday may save a life at Walmart! Who knows
where knowledge will be used. I believe that this is the strength of MSAR
and SAR - it is not always the big search but the private personal knowledge
that gives back and keeps on giving.
Thanks to all of you who have experience and are willing to guide
us.
