🌲 “We’ll figure it out” isn’t a rescue plan. Tell someone where you’re going and when you plan to be back. Small problems can become big ones fast. Lost? Injured? Weather turning? Running late? 📞 Call 911 early. There’s no charge for SAR in Alberta. 💛 #GetHomeSafe

🚁Search & Rescue does more than search for lost hikers. We respond to: 🔍Searches 🛟Rescues 🕊️Recoveries 🌪️Disaster response 👮Police support No matter the mission, SAR volunteers are trained, equipped, and ready to help. 💛Thank you #SARAlberta volunteers.

Most SAR incidents start with a single missing person and a local team. But as search areas & remote recreation expand, operations quickly scale. The real challenge? Managing organizational complexity: logistics, comms, & multi-agency leadership over time. #SearchAndRescue

One item we always recommend for your emergency kit: a quality outdoor utility tool and ferro rod fire starter. Lightweight, reliable, and useful for shelter building, fire starting, and emergency signaling. #SAR #OutdoorSafety #GetHomeSafe #BePrepared

🦌🟠 Blaze orange isn't legally required in Alberta while hunting, but SAR strongly recommends it. It helps prevent accidental injuries and makes it easier for search crews to find you if you become lost or injured. #AlbertaHunting #BlazeOrange #SARAlberta #HuntSafe

Indigenous search and rescue members bring invaluable skills, local knowledge and a deep understanding of the land to their work. We are grateful to the Indigenous members of SAR Alberta for their service, leadership and dedication. #NDTR #OrangeShirtDay #EveryChildMatters.
