Another vital aspect of SAR operations involve mantrackers. This involves tracing the path left by individuals in distress, whether they are lost, injured, or need assistance. It requires specialized skills and training to interpret signs such as footprints, broken branches, or other clues that can guide responders to the person in need. By refining their combat tracking abilities, emergency responders can greatly enhance their chances of finding and assisting those in distress.
Disaster Action Teams (DATs) organize resources and training for emergency responders and humanitarian organizations engaged in SAR operations. By equipping responders with the necessary, supplies, knowledge and skills to conduct effective reconnaissance, responders are able positively impact lives and reduce the negative effects of emergencies.
