NASAR Board of Directors Election Results
Congratulations to Board members Dallas Lane (AZ) and Craig Spieker (OH) on their re-election to the Board for another 3 years. I also want to congratulate Craig McVeay (NV) on his first election win and the exciting journey he has ahead for the next 3 years serving the Association.
We all owe Stephen Lewis (TN) thanks for his service on the Board for the past 3 years. He has offered his valuable time and experience to help us increase the quality of the WEC and other programs.
Heat and Risk
SAR responders face risk everywhere they go. I want to remind you that the oppressive heat that a lot of the nation has been experiencing is one of those risks. SAR management and Safety Officers should be considering the heat impact not just on the missing subject and human searchers, but also our canine and equine partners. To keep everyone safe we should be building in more breaks, shade and climate-controlled rehab areas, extra hydration stations, and hydration breaks. Make sure your medical plan considers heat impacts and addresses the response.
