NEWS & UPDATES
⛑️Arrowsmith Search and Rescue (ASAR) recently conducted a training session on the use of SARTopo and Lost Person Behaviour (LPB). This training is a crucial step in enhancing our search and rescue operations, ensuring we are better equipped to find and assist lost individuals.
‼️What is Lost Person Behaviour (LPB)?
Lost Person Behaviour is a critical component in search and rescue operations. It involves understanding the patterns and tendencies of individuals who are lost, based on extensive research and historical data. By analyzing factors such as age, mental state, and environment, LPB helps predict the likely movements and locations of missing persons.
⛑️How Does LPB Help?
🗺️Refines Search Areas: LPB provides valuable insights that allow us to narrow down search areas, making our efforts more focused and efficient.
📈Increases Success Rates: By understanding the behaviour of lost individuals, we can deploy resources more effectively, increasing the chances of a successful rescue.
❤️Saves Time and Resources: With a more targeted approach, we can reduce the time and resources spent on searches, ensuring quicker and more effective operations.
🚨Stay tuned for more updates on our training programs and how we continue to improve our search and rescue capabilities. Your support makes all the difference!
