Training in the latest Computer Mapping Software for Searches
Members of ASSAR are being trained in the latest version of a computer programme that helps plan and coordinate searches.
SARMAN is a GIS Software programme specifically developed for the use in the search and rescue management of missing persons. Originally it was designed in conjunction with Mountain Rescue England and Wales and subsequently used on numerous searches since. It is in use with MREW Teams, ALSAR Teams, MOD SARF, Police Forces and Fire & Rescue Services.
Bristol Water are helping ASSAR with a project to make it easier for the team to use SARMAN and are hosting the training, our thanks to them for their ongoing support.
