Airport Watch will also have a SAR group that can help in search and rescue calls in and around the Airport or other places.

It will be around the Airport that are our main aria to help passengers and other people.

Plus we can help whit Disasters like:

• Typhoons
• Earthquakes
• Tsunamis
• Floods
• Landslides 
• Forrest/gras fires
• Building/Garage fire
• Building fire/collapse 
• Big accidents
• Plane crash

We will base most of the training on Urban rescue since we have the local airport as our main base of operation. What our job in the different rescues will be is up to the police at the place. I think it will be most evacuation of people from the area and things like that for we are not any first responderes there and we are not going to act like that either.

Unfortunately, for many parts of the world, dealing with the effects of natural disasters is an essential part of forward planning. This is particularly the case for airports situated in disaster-prone areas such as Southeast Asia and South America. 

In recent cases such as Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines or the Nepal earthquakes, the role of airports in mitigating the humanitarian damage has been invaluable. However, it is often the case that airports simply are not equipped  to handle these extreme circumstances. 

The Search and Rescue will be volunteers from the Airport Watch group, and other plane spotters that want to be a part of the SAR team. There are few endeavours that are more noble or selfless than search and rescue.

Search and rescue is not easy however, Search and rescue training takes countless hours of dedication. In addition, search and rescue team members must be able to perform their operations in a variety of extreme environments

Search and Rescue teams require prospective members to be in good physical condition, min 18 years of age and preferably have some type of first aid certification. Once accepted onto a team as a probationary member, Search and rescue training begins.

Most teams conduct a basic search and rescue academy once or twice a year that includes the many fundamental skills necessary to be a team member. These skills include how to read topographic maps, how to use a compass, a basic land navigation, personal equipment, team communication structure, incident command system, and fundamentals of search and rescue.

This equipment list will be a little different from country to country since we have different climate and different nature, so we have different equipment needs, but we will have a standard list that all need to carry whit them on a call and that is.

• 2 way Radio (one spare Battery)
• First Aid Kit
• Torch (Spare battery)
• High visibility west
• Boots
• Notebook
• Pencil

Beside this will it be up to each team to supply with what they need, this depends much on the climate there they are and they will have different types of disasters to deal whit, so it's important that the different groups have equipment that is more useful in the types of SAR missions they have.

And when it come to more equipment will this be build up all after what the different groups have economy at the time.

We mostly use the UHF band, so you need then either a UHF radio or a Dual band radio that have both VHF and UHF so is it easier if you want to program some other channels in it to. If you buy your own radio communication for SAR use you need to program the channels we use on our radios. We use analogue radios, but we are looking on digital radios to use that as our main communication.

Search and Rescue Team members are constantly training for eventualities that we hope never happen.

There are a number of areas where technical skills must be learned and constantly practised so that in the event of an emergency we are ready to carry out a rescue.

The SAR teams need to have a minimum of one training session every month there they training on different types of disasters that is most common in the aria there they live, the idle is to have a training every 2 weeks.

How each SAR team plan there training is up to them and what they see as important to have more training on.
