Gail is in Atlanta and north Georgia. North GA Mounted Patrol offers
training (I don't know in what) and a certification (ditto). A 2004
press release from the governor's office announces the formation of 3
"heavy" urban search and rescue units, hosted in fire departments: http://www.gov.state.ga.us/press/2004/press358.shtml . That is of
little interest except that it mentions no existing state agency for
search and rescue.

Not that I am aware of. And a quick web search doesn't return evidence
of this either. Are you thinking of GEMA? They license organizations
but looking through their website I would say they don't consider search
and rescue within their scope except in the context of a large scale
disaster / emergency situation.
