In a recent discussion regarding Search And Rescue in West Central and Northwest Arkansas, there has come a point in time that there should be established a Incident Management Team (SAR - IMT).
This Incident Management Team (SAR-IMT) has not been established as of this writing.
What we need to know is whom, from each Search And Rescue group, would want to take the extra amount of time to learn, train, and work together as a Multi-Agency SAR Incident Management Team.
Let me make this perfectly clear, the SAR - IMT is a search and rescue operations support group and it is not designed to take over the persons position who has jurisdictional responsibility and the established position as the Search And Rescue Incident Commander (IC) during a search event. SAR-IMT is only a Incident Management Team! Now if the person who has jurisdictional responsibility and/or is the Incident Commander would want to transfer the command to a member of the Incident Management Team Member they would have that capability, but the IMT will not come in and take over the IC position.
If you are interested in the Incident Management Team, please email your name and contact information to crawfordcountysar@gmail.com.

CC SAR---
The Franklin County SAR team and OEM volunteers have some folks that would
be interested in being part of a regional IMT for SAR missions.
We will help with offering members for a Organizational Committee, host some
of the meetings and classes, and what ever else we can do to help the
process.
There is a lot of management talent in our area, we have a pretty good
history of working together, but agree with you that it is time to formalize
this IMT business, train more together, etc.
Please contact us when we can help--
Thank you for all you do to serve and protect t he citizens of Arkansas
