Abstract
BackgroundIn the United States, animal search and rescue (ASAR) is becoming a recognized component of Search and Rescue (SAR).Discussion and ObservationsUrban Search and Rescue (USAR) teams have long recognized the importance of having trained animal rescuers available to handle the animals that are often with humans seeking rescue. Animals are such an important part of most U.S. families, that in many cases, if the animal isn't included in the rescue efforts, the human will refuse to evacuate. The International Fund for Animal Welfare received a grant in 2010 to develop an ASAR curriculum and to train two Type II ASAR teams in Mississippi and Louisiana. This presentation will provide an overview of that curriculum and the courses that were developed for the unique tasks, skills, and equipment needs for animal search and rescue.
