Creating a rescue plan

Page updated: 30 November 2020

If you are the Incident Controller, you need to make sure a rescue plan is created at the same time as the search plan.

Include specific details in the rescue plan

A rescue plan should include information on:

  • SAR resources needed for the rescue
  • the staging area for the rescue operation
  • post-rescue tasking
  • resources for post-rescue tasking, for example, transport and medical resources.
