EVERY MOMENT COUNTS

When you are lost, cold, hungry or injured, hours seem like days, and days seem like a lifetime. 

Rapid response to a lost person incident requires incredible dedication in an all-volunteer organization like OCSAR.  The training is endless, the hours can be long, and the call rarely comes at a convenient time.  Experienced searchers know that when someone is in trouble, you have to drop everything and grab your gear bag.  The level of commitment of our crew members is one rarely given to a volunteer position.  Why?  Because it matters.  Because your actions could save someone’s life.

OUR MISSION

“Committing to service-above-self, perpetual training, and inter-agency cooperation to maintain a constant state of readiness for search & rescue incident response and above all else, safety.”
