Managing Inland Search Function (MISF)
Date: Feb 19-21, 2023
Price: $400
Location: Tucson Expo Center
Company/Instructor: ERI / Skip and Bob Stoffel
Description: The course “Basic Managing the Inland Search Function” provides the essence of what the first-on-scene IC will initiate, manage and document Search and Rescue incidents. For the most part, this training focusses on non-technical issues, but provides a building-block foundation for both ongoing management of the operation and technical search planning if necessary in coming operational periods. Most searches begin as straight forward incidents and usually resolve using the informal search planning tactics and management contained in this course. The Basic course sets the foundation for the application of search planning as detailed in the Advanced Search Planning program. This training explains the principals involved in the analysis of Lost Person Behavior and lays the foundation for Reflex Tasking, statistical analysis and the use of numerical assessments.
