Marin County Search and Rescue is an all-volunteer organization in Marin County within Marin County Sheriff's Office.〔(Marin County Sheriff's Office official site )〕 With approximately sixty active members year round, Marin County's Search and Rescue (Marin SAR) responds to searches for missing children and adults, evidence〔(Marin SAR assisting on a local evidence search )〕 and other search requests in the county and on mutual aid calls anywhere in the state of California. Marin SAR is a mountain rescue Type I certified team able to handle the toughest terrain and remain out in the field without resupply for extended periods with the motto of: "Anytime, Anywhere, Any Weather." ==History== Marin County Search and Rescue (Marin SAR) began as Explorer Post 74 in 1970, focusing on ecology and outdoor education.〔(History of Marin County's Search & Rescue )〕 In 1971, the organization became the first scouting group in Marin to accept young women into the program. In the mid-1970s, several members attended a scouting conference in Washington State and learned about Explorer Search and Rescue. Marin Explorers returned and convinced the rest of the group to change the focus to search and rescue. In 2004, Marin County's SAR team became Mountain Rescue Association (MRA) Type I〔(FEMA SAR levels defined )〕 certified〔(California region's MRA teams )〕—capable of handling the most challenging terrain at the highest elevations. In 2006, Marin SAR hosted the International Mountain Rescue Conference (IMRC),〔(MRA's 2006 Annual Report )〕 bringing search and rescue experts from all over to train together and share best practices in technical rescue. In 2010, Marin SAR was one of the coordinating host agencies for SAREX 2010〔(Search and Rescue Expo 2010 on Treasure Island )〕 with responsibility for the coordination and management of the technical rope rescue track. Today the team, headquartered in San Rafael, CA at (''10S 054113 420581'' ) UTM, trains and is equipped to respond to sustained wilderness〔(Search for missing teenager )〕〔(Trail runner rescued )〕〔(Search for missing hiker at Pt. Reyes )〕 and high altitude searches, missing children searches,〔(Search in Sonoma County )〕 mass casualty incidents or natural disasters〔(Marin County's Search & Rescue participates in evacuation drill )〕 as well as Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) with some members also members of regional US&R task force and swiftwater rescue. One of the few Search & Rescue teams to recruit and deploy youth members, on average Marin's SAR team has approximately 30 high-school〔(San Rafael student in search unit finds missing woman in Carmel Valley )〕 〔(High School students help search for missing women )〕 age members and in a typical year deploys on 50+ missions throughout the State of California including Yosemite.〔(Yosemite Search and Rescue )〕 Marin SAR recruits new members twice a year, in early Spring and early Fall, and no prior MRA or SAR experience is required.〔(Marin County's Search & Rescue recruiting page )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marin County Sheriff's Office Search & Rescue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
