- In an emergency call 911
Creston Valley SAR members are volunteer professionals, dedicated to serving their community and the lost person. Training regularly to be able to respond 24/7 when needed, they fill a wide variety of roles. The challenging and demanding job of Searcher is supported by the equally important radio operators, drivers, food and facility staff, command staff and more. All training is provided, and there are opportunities for anyone willing to put in effort and function as part of a positive-focused team. There truly is no feeling like when you are part of bringing the lost person home.
Creston Valley Search & Rescue is always open to new members. We begin training new groups once or twice a year.
Ground search and rescue is a complex undertaking that requires many levels of support. As such, we offer a wide range of positions accommodating various levels of experience, age and physical ability. The following are only some of the volunteering opportunities available:
