Additional topics include pre-plan development, legal aspects, Cospas-Sarsat System, and federal SAR roles and responsibilities.Tools to help SAR decision makers determine where to search, how to divide an area between limited search resources, and how to craft the overall search effort to gain the best increases in likelihood of success at each step.
