Who We Are
The Illinois Search and Rescue Council is a charitable, professional, and educational organization which supports, coordinates, develops, promotes, and implements search and rescue resources with the underlying principles of saving lives and preserving property through its support of the National Search and Rescue Plan, the National Response Framework, and Illinois Emergency Operations Plan.
Our membership is comprised of
SAR teams from all across the State of Illinois, and some surrounding areas,
that have come together to further the professionalism of the SAR
discipline. Our teams include
organizations from public safety organizations as well as non-governmental
organizations providing search and rescue services for missing persons within
the State of
If Someone Is
Missing
The most important thing to do is notify your local law enforcement agency as soon as possible. They will begin the process of investigating the situation and will notify search and rescue teams as necessary and appropriate.
